Vertical dimension of the Launch device

[umer]

Hi,

In the rule book 3.a Says "when ready to launch the launch device projectile stabilizing weight , counter weights and all other device components must have a vertical dimension of NO MORE THAN 70 cm.

the question is What does by ready to lunch

a. Should I remove any counter weight ?
b. Should I put weight but do not attach the string with trigger point ?
c. Should I put the weight and attach string with triggers pin ?

the issue is I have different dimensions in all above three scenarios, Can anyone confirm me on this this .

ready to launch means you are ready to launch
as in if you trigger your device it should launch - this means that the counterweight should be on and the triggering device prepared

Thanks for the answer. This cleared my confusion.
