Bungee Launch systems?
 

Hey Guys,
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

I don't fly jets but I do bungee launch electrics with no LG. I use about 40 feet of surgical tubing doubled to 20 feet. I made a pedal launcher . Do a search for pedal launchers and you will find a bunch of idas for them.

How do you connect the bungee cord to the air craft? I have a Kyosho F-16. It is made of foam, with a thin exterior plastic coat. I am concerned that any hook will just get ripped out of the fuselage when the pedal is pushed.

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
