How am I doing? And what do you think of "Terminal Velocity" as a name?

That support structure is bigger then normal support structures like that if I'm correct. But its amazing. I see your going to add the cross braces on the front, so thats fine. I can tell this is going to be a big ass coaster!

Update. I've decided to keep it inside. Mostly because its cold outside and I don't want to go out and set it up to make the final video. But I want to make sure I have enough pieces for my layout. Need to know how the heartlining is on the first twist though. I looked at POV's of TTD and they didn't seem to be that heartlined on the way up. Please comment and tell me what I have to do!!

Edit: Question, how high up does the pullout/pullin start? Anyone know of a good picturethat shows the launch and entire pullout?

I'm not sure the twist is shaped right, I can't put my finger on it though. And the crest is not shaped right, it looks too wide right now, to fix it make the top of the crest higher. Other then that its beast!

^ I do agree with him, i can't put my finger on it either... it might be the heartlining, but i think you should build the pullout first, so then we can see how high up the transition should be. And i think with after you build the pullout, add tubing. Tubing can make something miss-shaped, look good, so do that to see what it is.

The structure on this is beautiful! Your pretty good with tubes.
If you still need a pull out/pull in pic, I found one.

The pull out is maybe about a little less than 1/2 of the top hat.
I'll keep my eye on this

That's sick, although the top looks a little uneven.

Yup. ^'s right. Right where the V connecter is is where it should be 0*. If you could move the top to the left (referring to last pic) about one centimeter I think it'd be great.

I love the spin. But the crest still looks bad.

The spin looks awesome, you did the heartlining really well. Very good job on the rest of the structure, too.

Congrats! This is really nice. Your tubes look great! Are you going for a TTD ending or a KK ending or custom? So far, this is epic.

Thank you. Not sure for an ending now.

Good news and bad news. Bad news, ran out of pieces. Good news is I have plenty now that I took the whole thing down.
