Default RE: Gremlin Launcher?

Eric Henderson flew a Gremlin with dural landing gear on top of the fuel tank area and used the fins as rear wheels. He used to do inverted touch and goes with it. it was fun to watch

I've talked to Mike (original poster) and remember the launchers the 1/12th guys used back in 2003 when I CD'd the Northeast Regionals in Salem CT. I would think you could make a cradle for those to launch the Gremlin but we never located plans. I had a wheelchair guy that flew with us 10 years ago and he was looking for something that he could launch when flying by himself but never figured anything out. I think the 1/12th scale one used a short piece of Highstart tubing for power. Ring any bells?
