Much better than your attempt a while ago. Looks good, but due to my limited wifi i can't check google for comparison pics.

Thanks, I was inspired by your Kumba recreation.

I made a Loop.

Your loop overall shaping is looking pretty good overall, however, if you're trying to be as accurate as possible, it is too skinny. Compare:

Wow that is a tight loop, the height and the speed is good though, I think the loop needs to be wider like this: http://coasterbuzz.c...rPhotoImage/207

Yes, that is much better. However there are some small hills in the loop that will just kill your speed if you don't get rid of them.

It looks like there are straight spots on the left and right sides of the loop, and the top doesn't seem extremely supported but other than that it looks pretty good.

If you wouldn't build it with knex, don't build it at all

That's better than the first but like the others said it just needs to be smoothed out a bit but looking good overall! :D

Like Muzz135 said it needs to be smoothed out , and fix all the straight spots like coming into the loop there is a huge straight spot but is not a big deal to fix , just takes time , but good job

I do think it could be a bit wider, it's still kinda skinny. http://rcdb.com/617.htm?p=577 Good work though!!

I think if you widen your loop by 1, maybe 2 yellow rods, your loop will look a lot better. However, widening it will make those straight spots become bigger, so you'll have to work on fixing those.

now that I look at it, it looks good. Its almost perfect, just fix the bumps. Also that zero g roll looks pretty tall, I'm wondering if you can get the zero g roll to make it

Hmmm... I think if you fix those straight spots it'll be good, and also it looks like you should start the pullout later or something.

Your pull I'm is ok just fix the bumps but the pull out needs to start later like FrIeDeGgS said. I like the way you merged the photo it's really well done and shows you what bits are wrong!
