^I think that's a little too high to start pulling out.

If I were you, I would level off that turn and not start the drop until the turn is completely done. What you have looks a lot better though.

[Pyro]

Yes, That is much better.

[SimpsonsJunkey24]

Something tells me that this will have a very sraight drop unless you start the pull-out like right now and that would be one big pull-out!

On a positive note this looks great for your first re-cre.

[TheCodeMaster]

I have started the pull-out and thanks for the positive comment ^

[Kraken]

That is looking awesome!! How come you got like 30 comments in less than a day when i only got 3 in 3 days????? lol

[coasterfanatic11]

^tell me about it...
Anywho: It looks good, just do what PKI said and make the predrop flat, then start the drop at the end of the turn.

-cf11 :cool:

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Going along with what PKI and ^ said, the predrop needs to be a lot more defined and sharp. It should go: lift-crest-straight, flat part-45*turn-drop, not have them all mixed into one.

I have now finished the pull-out:

The pullout looks quite small, and the drop supports look stressed.

the supports don't shake at all.

[lazor 22]

Yea, that pullout is way to small. You should make the pre drop turn level though.

sorry for the double post, I am running low on pieces so I ordered:
100 purple 3D connectors
and
60 Yellow rods.

[pkiknex25]

Ok, if you're already low on pieces already, you will not finish this.

[TheCodeMaster]

I am not low on pieces forgot to put IF in.
also I found a stash of knex under my bed!

Your lift is too steep. It should be like this:

What's the point in telling us to COMMENT!!! if you won't even try to fix the things we point out? The biggest problem is that the pre-drop turn should be flat.

And, by this post:

the drop supports look stressed.

he meant that they are bending.

Look at this pic:


You can see that the whole main support tower is bending. That can cause a lot of problems, such as it collapsing, plus it will probably shake more.

[TheCodeMaster]

I fixed that when I moved it to a new location.

Your lift is too steep. It should be like this:

I have tried to make it shallow before and it did not work out.

I will fix the turn and I have fixed the support.
