Can you post any updates on here as well craycray? I would love to see some pics.

Yeah actually, i increased the height of the top hat to 5’10’’ and the launch system is powerful and reliable, this is the launch running at 1/3 speed, slowed down 10 times, i have alot of rachets and precautions inplace, bc i don’t want something to shoot off into someones eye or something lol

Hi, i have the final brake run done pretty well, and the tophat had been raised, the launch is working as intended, and my set arrived, and sorry for the lack of posts recently, with stealth and Ka they will be much more frequent

The launch mechanism uses a tensioning, and a speed system, so you can control speed and torque separately, i've found the sweet spot s 1/2 speed and 1/3 torque aproximately, this launch system will be used going forwards as it can be compacted very easily

the latex tubing is not directly connected to the catch car, and the drum works in the same way stealth's does, with a small tension retainer on the back end and a braking system at the front

I can't wait to see this ride in action cray! Looking good...I also really like the virtual coasters that you created and posted videos of on your YouTube channel. That launch looks nice.

Awesome to see this thing finished Cray! A little bit shaky but still looks like a neat ride.
