Default Way to Go Rob

Rob Loved the Video. It can get small in a hurry,I had another flight yesterday and had to keep it at 1/2 throttle until I get use to it. I also made a launching platform kind of like what the Germans did to launch a V-1. I made an inclined ramp with PVC pipe. The Outlaw sits/rides on a carriage that falls away when it goes over the edge. The 1st attempt failed (incline too steep) The 2nd was better but the carriage didn't fall away and the whole thing went about 20ft at chest level then the carriage fell away right side then left. Well at full throttle I was puckering and was able to make a great save. After pulse and BP down we hand tossed it for a perfect flight. I will try to "perfect" the launch ramp one more time based on the results. I wish I had a video of that 2nd flight... Rob,Post more video soon I'm going for some popcorn. Pete
