I think it will be realy hard because of the turn and then

the loops, it might not make it but anyway good luck. BTW are you done with Blue

Streak?

I have a picture of the lift so far. The peak is a

whopping 5'6"! The loop will start @ about 2 1/2 ft-3ft. The others

will start like 3 inches below that one. Then there may be a short brake run. You

know the rest from there.

Those supports look nice, I have ridden Viper before

and I can tell you it will be hard to make.

As you can see from this pic, the second and third loops are a lot lower than the first, so I

would lower it more than 3 inches. Also, if you revove the brake run after the loops,

you will easily make it through the boomerang. And if you remove the trims after the

boomerang, it will make it through the corks. Good Luck!!!

Go Broncos!

Everything as of now is going good. Although, I am

slowly tearing apart BS for parts. I will have another pic including the drop later

tonight. I have gotten the top of the lift and the first part of the drop where it starts to

bank done. BTW, thanks for the info.

Here you go, the drop so far! I didn't put

much work into it today, I am having trouble with piece shortages. I will tear down my

bs all the way now.

The drop looks good. You will get a lot of speed from

that.

the second and third loops are a lot lower than

the first


Yes it's true. The

third loop also doesn't have as much of a diamiter as the two previous loops

before it.

Oh yes, That area where the track is in the middle of

the supports is the mid-course brake run.

The smoothness of that drop should get it through.

How tall is it?

The supports look like the real supports,this is going

to be one of the better recreations if you build the rest like the lift and drop.

The only pad part is I can't build the Tubular

supports
Then again, maybe i can. It will just be condensed grey rods.
