Looks good to me, maybe a little small though, how fast does it go over it?

^^not fast a t all in fact before I got it to stop shaking it wouldn't make it at all. it's only only like a gray shorter than the lift and the drop is turning so that kills some speed. I should make it a litle taller though thanks.

^Yeah I was going to build a tube supported invert any way ,but he gave me a boost.

><>
It's safe to say that I'm not exactly pleased with my works so far.

Looks good.
You might want to try making the lateral supports on either side of the loop a little skinnier, like this. I know, it's a B+M invert, but you can see how the supports go out, not straight down.

It would probably be really strenuous on the riders because of the pressure against the harnesses, but otherwise, it looks fantastic.

mine don't go strait down. you just cant tell form the angles. it's at a 94* angle.

Straining is what it's all about >: )

Have you lubed your cars? If you have not yet, you can lube them and make the loop higher.

Your dumb, ALL vekoma flyers have loops on the inside, not out, and you can't come back saying "oh it's a B&M flyer now" because they don't have loops, they have pretzles. Change it. looks horrid anyway.

^^excuse me? I never said any thing about a b&m flier. that was steelspectrum. he is the only one that said any thing about b&m.

^thanks ,but I had no idea that they didn't do that in real life.

steelspectrum was responding to the supports as a b&m not the coaster.

I know he was the only one that even mentioned B&M

A little bit of an update.

I am going to do a sidewinder and then coming off the side winder will be a elevated corkscrew that will get t back uninverted then it will suddenly dive down into a half loop and do something els.

Wow, I start arguments without even trying. W00t.
Well, it's not really an argument, really just a disagreement...nevermind.

V..READ THIS!..V not that.^ummm...yeah.

IMO, it would be really ugly for you to have half the ride be inverted elements on a flyer, 'custom' or not. Maybe you could do a half-zeroG roll, like on X (SFMM), to get it verted again or something, that might look cool...

^ I don't know maybe ,that would kill a lot of speed.

Update.

don't worry about the second cork screw I didn't realize it looked that bad until I took the pictures I know how to fix it.

^yeah thanks. I'll have an update up when every one else gets home from school and the forums come alive. i finished the other cork screw that looked like poo. my brother killed the lift and the cork but I fixed it all up.
