Hmmm....maybe make it not as tall and do it again...

[live4bb21]

i could kinda make this portion a little distorted... like

not make it bend to the ground, which would make the return to flying not as big of a

half loop. than continue on with the model... or custom coaster from what i have build

now... let me know everyone

[Westside7th]

My rocket coaster barely makes it through a 2.5foot

loop from a drop of 7.5feet! You have to think small.

[live4bb21]

the thing is if i go small from the drop it will never

make it through the horseshoes, because those are elevated.

[Westside7th]

That is hy I never do recreations. K'nex coasters

lose speed to quickly that they will never make it through all the elements on a real

coaster. I build custom coasters and I build from start to finish. That way I can test

to make sure the train passes through each element with enough speed.

[live4bb21]

so you thinking custom?

[Westside7th]

Yes! If you clikc my sig you can see my Iron

Falcon flyer. I had a very high lift hill and I could only get the first half of a pretzel

and an inline twist before the speed ran out!

[live4bb21]

i guess i'll keep my revolutionary lift and build

from what i have than.

[KMAIMaster]

Did you try to make the pretzel loop smaller?

Don't give up on a re-creation cause it's hard, that just sounds lazy...

[live4bb21]

i did scale down the pretzel loop and it still dosnt work

at 2 feet... . i can't go lower cause than the rest of the coaster will not work.

and i did WD-40 the train so that has been tried

[KMAIMaster]

How high is the drop?

[SSCoasters]

Making the Pretzel Loop smaller will not help. It will

only cause it to lose more speed. S:UF is almost impossible to make unless if you have

A LOT of sets, and a huge lift and drop. Believe me I want to make S:UF awhile ago

but quickly found out that there was no way.

i agree, but before i had a chance to

take it down my dog run through it!!

[live4bb21]

i guess that this is a 1 car RR coaster lol... it seems

the boosters are the only thing that can save it

[Ash]

yes, in a way but shourley you can do something so

you can use the ss cars

[live4bb21]

i have decided to keep the model a flyint model but

make it a custom because SUF is a rr coaster in my opinion

[Westside7th]

Custom coasters are much more fun to build IMO.

[live4bb21]

i would imagine they are because its your design

[joshg678]

also they can be heavy, and will gain more speed

from a drop, but loses it faster, one thing you could try, add weight to the front of the

train, and that will help it drop faster, dunno about making it through the pretzel.

[Da Squriel]

Would 3 sets be enugh'sp" i think so maby

i could pull it of with 3 sets he he. But good luck to you.
