Here you are, "jesper's launch" http://www.sscoaster...p?t=5094&page=2
Half the tutorial is there but all you do is put on the rubber band, the other side, attach the rubber band to a chain link and put on the chain.

You have to keep in mind, hes probably never even use rubber bands with K'nex, and hes probably just going to get confused.

Just use a rubber band launch,
it's the quickest bar a drill launch, and it is the easiest too!!

my dad wont let me use his drill. im either going with a shorter jesper's launch or a rubber band, though jesper's launch does eat away at pieces.

you could make a jespers without a trigger?
So it'd be a pull-back rubber band / chain launch, they aren't too hard to figure, but don't get as much speed as the Jesper or the Rubber Band

would a rubber band launch work with a 4 car train, bearing in mind most of my rubber bands are quite short.
