Looks cool, just a too short launchtrack. Make it a bit longer!

The length of the launch depends of the height/length of the ride.
2 Track lengths would be a nice launch (tried it myself)

If you make a tophat after the launch, the launch should be about 1.5X the height of the tophat long.

^Yeah, I would do a tophat and that height if I were you building this. Considering I build launches, I like the catch car your using, but make the launch longer for more power! My only concern is if the train can roll over that catch car, considering I don't build with VV.

I like it, but you might want to make a guide for the catch-car. Or at least use some of the chain guides. Can you get a video of the launch?

Nice looking launch! However, it looks kinda flimsy. Does it move the track around a lot when released? And the chain dog looks as if the ladder connector will come off of the chain link...
Other than that, looks nice, and good luck!

I like dive loops after launches ;)

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.
