What kind of bungee launch systems are you guys using to launch your electric jets? I have about 40 ft of surgical tubing available but I know I will only need about 5-8ft (?). If you have any pics or drawings, I would appreciate seeing them. Thanks in advance, Ken H

Status: offline 		flyinazn10 looks pretty easy to build and just go by what u see in the pic i cant read french either but i can work out where everything goes but isnt there ment to be a little bag or parashoot or something that drags behind on one of the rings? maybe im wrong i just read some where that the good bungys have that thingo to help the ring fall off on launch
