Default Takeoff cart

Hey all,

I have a new wing I am putting together. No plans, just bought a bunch of balsa and started building. It came out pretty good so far but I am a beginner at this. I know it will fly since it will have a 46 for a power plant but I am a little concerned about the first flight. Has anyone ever constructed something with wheels for a hand launch plane? Seems like the concept is pretty simply. Plane sits on cart till it has enough air speed to take off and wham. Just don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already accomplished the task successfully.

Thanks,
dan
