Default RE: hand launching

Bingo, that was my shop/hanger/dental lab, acrylic and balsa dust everywhere!!! I was flying three or four days a week back then. Today here in Vegas I have a slightly bigger shop, by about 2 feet wider and longer.
OK, here are the gears I made up for the Up-Roar. Just takes a vise and some wire and solder. Not sure what plane I had them on last but I did notice the small wheels. Most the time I had about three inch foam wheels. I must have been flying off of one of my other clubs runways, asphalt fields at two of my clubs and weeds/grass at the other. Even flew off of a Polo field once. Horse hooves bring up another little problem!!
