Had to think outside the runway on this one. The first time was easy, not this time. To the left, to the right, in the weeds, and broke the gear again. Finally a hand launch out of the cab was the solution.
LOL. Awesome work. 10/10. Give vectored thrust (yaw only) a shot. It works great to overcome the lack of aerodynamic steering from not having prop wash over the rudder and lack of mechanical steering via the tailwheel due to not having the prop wash make the elevator effective either at slow air speeds with this type of conversion. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
@flyasakite1781 It's like a real long rubber band. You would have to. Look it up online. It is roughly several feet of surgical tubing tied to several feet of thin nylon line nailed in the ground, Think sling-shot. If you do look It up online, it's called an upstart for radio control gliders. Or talk to some rc glider guys. I made one and used it on an edf that was a real POS. It did get it launched up in the sky.But the jet was a real crapper.
@flyasakite1781 They work really well but you have to be very careful. If it snaps loose, it can ruin your day. I used them with my gliders in the past.. Watch some videos about rc glider launching.
