okay, the pull up is being built:



It will go vertical soon....

[Antinos]

Your pullup is uneven. If you went vertical sooner, the problem would be solved. You would have to make your half loops less tear dropped though. I think it would be worth it in the long run.

This is closer to how it should look...

oh, okay... thanks.... I guess I will move the tower to the right two places and fix it.... but that will have to wait for Friday, if you want to know why, read my post in the longest thread.


I really want to finish the 2nd element VERY soon...this is dragging out too long.


and....WILL SOMEONE CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS THREAD TO "THE FUGITIVE" ...PLEASE???

^sorry....but I did ask kindly about 3 times previously. so, the recent request was *slightly* edgy. Once again I apologize.


edit: today I really feel like cleaning my area...sorry guys, no updates (except maybe before/after pics) until, like, Monday...


I am becoming so tired with this second element that I may just make it a wraparound immelman that flares and twists under the launch run and... you'll have to wait and see....


edit#2: here are before/after pics...


^before


^after!!!!


^track storage

[Chaos]

Not much to say about that. It doesooks like you're fixing it, though.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

nice cleanup..lol...
i cant stand it when i have to look for pieces.
i keep mine organized in bags.
looking good so far.

[fastman xc]

^ahh, good, but the slight problem is when I have to rebuild something about 5 times which includes modifying supports every time...that is what contributed to the mess because I did not take the supports down, just removed them.

[fastman xc]

here is the hew half loop... IMO it looks better.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

now that is turning out good...
cant wait to see the final product
did u see my sea serpent i made?

[lilmikemarin]

Very good, the pull-up is perfect.

[Antinos]

Much much better. Thats definately an improvement. Its good enough to call it amazing(spelled correctly for TwistedDreams)!

[fastman xc]

^^^yes, and it is cool!
^^thank you.
^LOL, you actually got it right...:iyes

here is the logo of the Fugitive


I may not have as much time as desired...I have feild trips on thursday and friday...and a test tomorrow.

more pics of the finished immelman





needs more support, but those will come...

[lilmikemarin]

Very nice, this is a sea serpent, correct?

[Mikecoastermaniac]

this looks more like a soon to be sea serpent or cobra roll, a immelman is brought out. Here is the immelman i built on griffon.

[KiNg Of Da Ka]

wow thats great except it sort of looks like there is a straight part in the unsupported area. Also for the logo I think you should put the words "The Fugitive" on roller coaster tracks.

[fastman xc]

^^exactly....but if you (and lmm) paid close attention to ^x11, when I state that it will be a wraparound immelman. I think that will still happen; I changed the end of what I have to still have banking (< really bad grammarz), at about 45*. then I will flare it out to dive under the launch run, into an element yet undisclosed.

^I will try to fix the straight part when supporting the twist and I will see what the logo looks like w/ tracks, soon.

yet, I will probably NOT rebuild the entire second element again (unless I really have to) until the end because I really want to move on.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

^ good choice its time to move on with more things.
but ahhh! i got you know

[fastman xc]

^yip, I NEED to finish this by June 4 at the latest...and time is dwindling at school...
