This is my new Eurofighter called Prowler. It is about 3 feet and will have max x-ties through out. I have the drop and the left done. There will also be a blue rod base which you dont really see on coasters (except woodies). Please Comment!

Also The second pic of the drop looks really bad in the pic but it isnt it is smooth there might be a bump in the drop.

[NitroDude319]

I see a sharp spot in the middle of the drop.

[SimpsonsJunkey24]

In the last picture theres a straight spot in the pullout and theres somthing i dont like about the crest.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

There are no straight spots^. This is how I know. I used a grey rod and went against all the flexis and sort of mirrored them and all of the grey rods are just slightly bending. Will fix the sharp spot^^.

[Outerlimits659]

Your drop angles in too far, causing a sharp spot. Also yes, there is a straight spot. It may be bending slightly but it still looks straight. As for the crest I'd need a direct side view to judge it....

so i need to fix the straight spot,make the drop not angle into much and get a side view of the crest. i will try to do it when i get back from MMA tonight.

i agree with outerlimits, it shouldnt go that far beyond 90*. and your pullout needs a constant curve. it seems to be sharp at the top then a gradual curve in the middle then sharp at the bottom.

[SimpsonsJunkey24]

Heres a good picture of how much it should be angled.

[maarten12]

It has to be less steep and looking and the picture I think you have to start the pullout a little bit later.

What they mean is that the two curves of the drop (Inital drop and the pullout) (looking back at the pictures it looks like this is the same with the top of the pullout and the bottom of the pullout (2ndpic)) are not the same ratio. You're right, it is curving it just doesnt curve enough. make it a constant curve and dont make it go over 100*.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

ok, I think I fixed everything.

[Da_Cool]

looks better now.
sharp spot, straight spot, sharp spot in pullot, last pic, at 45°

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

anyone else?

[Coaster55]

The boxes following the pull out are weak; they should be going down at 45 degrees, not over a blue, down a blue, over a blue.. Also, the supports coming off the box should just be a rod connected to a half moon and the cross tie, not two or three connectors like you have.

As for the shaping, the pull out has a straight spot at 45 degrees.

The max ties aren't necessary either, 5 to 6 per flexi is plenty.

Oh Em Gee ~G3n3rOo2256~, this looks nothing like Prowler. Fix the crest, the pull out is horrible & the turning drop isn't even turning! Nothing like the real ride. Jeebus.

its not a re cre

I have an update: I think I fixed the drop... it is nice and smooth.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

come on guys I really need some comments. i have a lot of time to build today and I really want to move on today.

[Coaster55]

In the picture below, change the support in the circle to one rod. There has to be some way you can connect the track there without using 3 connectors.

In the oval, the base rods don't fit; you can't using a gray rod with a blue base rod. It needs to be 4 blues or two green/reds.

The supports on the lift are also wasting a lot of pieces that you will need later. Change the the vertical blue rods to vertical red rods.

[maarten12]

I agree with coaster 55 your shaping is nice and smooth now but there is much to say about your supports. If you fix everything he said you'll be fine I think

[Millcreek47]

His box volume is blue x blue x yellow so he cant have lateral crossbraces. Id change that Generoo to either yxyxy or bxbxb so you can have crossbraces goine two ways.

C55:

This bxbxb/yxyxy goes with this too.
