[RedBird10]

My new coaster, RedBird, has started construction. The coaster will pull out of the station at 2 feet of the floor, plummet down a 98 degree drop of 1 9/10 feet drop. Next, it launches itself up a 10 foot towers. It then drops at about 83 degrees after doing an inverted top cap like on Mr. Freeze. It then enters a 5 1/2 foot or so loop, does a 4 foot corkscrew over the station, goes up a 80 degree 4 foot hill, brakes a bit, drops at about 97 degrees, does a 3 1/2 foot cobra roll, then an upward helix, followed by the brake run back into the station.
The coaster uses a rubber band launch. I strung together about 15-20 rubber bands using paper clips.

I am using 3 SS kits, 2 bins of K'nex, and 1 RR booster.

The one trouble I'm having is the first tower keeps on tipping over. Does anyone know how I can prevent this?

The actual coaster should be done in 2-3 weeks with the scenery taking an additional week.

Will give more info as this project progresses.

Duck tape would keep the tower up, or lateral side supports which go diagonal off the tower, but it would really help to see pictures of this first. Once we see pictures, then we can actually help you out.
