making arows you can just put one flexi rod on the middle connector of the track
connectors that is just an idea.

Curved drops are hard to pull off, especially above
four feet (I should know cause mine still isn't right). But yours is quite
impressive. Weird, but I'd been thinking about building a Viper-like loop, oh 3.5
feet up, but you would need a massive drop. Great work so far.

wow that drops shape is nearly identical to the real
thing, And that perspectie shot also shows how accurate the curvature and the shape
is to the actual ride.

The
only pad part is I can't build the Tubular supports
Then again, maybe i can.
It will just be condensed grey rods.
Shockwaver, I would not worry too much about trying to replicate the tubular
supports. I think the most important part is to make the track route ressemble the real
one, and you seem to have that going really well. I thought the Viper was a great ride,
so I look forward to seeing your model.

Sorry all, but I have not updated in a while. I've
been partying a lot lately. Tomorrow we all got school with the exception of maybe a
few people. I won't be able to build much on school days. I will try.
As for
updates, I got my track going up to the loop started. I guess I will get back to work on
it now.
Peace, Shockwaver
P.S. Have a good day at
school!

The drop looks good from the first person veiw, but
the turn looks like it comes a little late into the drop in the 3rd person perspective.
Can't wait to see the whole thing. Good Job.

Yes, I have noticed that, a normal arrow mega looper
doesn't turn like mine, usually it banks then turns outward. But, K'nex
can't do everything a real one does.

Geez, how many sets do you have? Because it looks
like you've used a lot of pieces and all you have done is the lift and drop. Looks
awesome too!

I haven't the time to work on it, I have only
completed the loop and the straightaway before the 196 degree turn. I may have
gotten the loop backwardz cuz i'm autistic, j/k, i havent researched it much. + If
I did, i forgot. I'm just reviving this topic so it doesnt get sucked into the black
hole of dead topics.

Don't worry, Shockwaver, if you get the loop
backwards, I won't know the differance. And I've ridden Viper
twice in my life.

I've discontinued it, moving to my

topic someone.
