The last picture is NOT the current loop. The ones with the Companion Cube are.

^^In fact, it does make it.

^But the last pic does have the Companion Cube in it! (behind the loop) I love it so far! It must be really smooth to make it around the loop. Great job!

Update!

I had a busy week and a half (Almost 18 hours of band practicing!) so I didn't have a lot of time to build.

...but now, it's finished!

If you see any bumps, just tell me and I'll fix it. I've already fixed the one at the bottom of the twist.

The only problem that I can see is that the transition starts to soon, but it's banked perfectly at the top. Lovely so far.

^What? That's Devastator's station, coming down eventually.

I fixed the twist by unbanking it some at the bottom. Next is some sort of 0-G roll, either being high, low, or in between.

The transition from 180* to 135* is abrupt. maybe take out the connector and throw some cross ties in there.

^^Knowing me, it'd end up being a corkscrew.


^What? You really want to see maximum crossties? Nuh-uh, there's well enough. I have no idea how I need more.

And believe me, it's just right. Look at Batman's (at SFNE):

Quite sharp if you ask me.



Oh, and here's a fixed twist:

Posted Image

Yeah, it looks like some of those crossties are on crack. Only blurry thing in the photo.

yeah if you were to make it like Batman's at SFNE then it would have to be more rounded.

But it exits 45 degrees from the entrance. Mine's only around 10-15 degrees, hence it not being as rounded because it barely turns it away from itself.

In other words, I don't have the room to do that. I only used SFNE's as an example of the banking.

Batman's dive loop has a curved entrance, while yours doesn't. No problem to me. People should stop whining about it not being the same.
