0509 Catapult Launch Lagoon Foam Planes

Well, it sure works. It comes off the launcher like a bat out of hell. 🤣 I would imagine that you won't be trying it in the garden too soon. 😂😅👍👍

@mikeflight9 Hi Mike, dull and grey outside at the moment. It is probably better suited to balsa gliders or at least any glider with a reinforced fuselage to take the strain 😊👍

Hi there, Grandad. I have the mate to your Sky Surfer from my grandson that he broke. I have glued it back together but never gave it back to him. I must give it long think on how to soften the hit the tail gets at launch. I was thinking of a small bit of soft foam or cotton ball taped to the pusher pad. I am sure weaker rubber bands would work. But it is nice to see you getting some use and fun out of it. Take care.

@Sea-Dog5496 probably more effective to put a stiffening rod along the length of the plane👍

@@Putarubberbandonit Great idea. Shove a stick up its rear. I know some people I would like to try that on. 😋

Haha, KZbin hid your reply, they thought it might be offensive 🤣👍

@@Putarubberbandonit I take it you could not read it? No matter. It was a little off color. I am not surprised. I try to be discrete, but I don't always get away with it. Haha

@Sea-Dog5496 I always check the "held for review" folder. If I didn't, I would miss half the comments. KZbin algorithms tend to catch innocent comments and miss the important ones. My 9pm publications on my main channel always get a comment from an automated porn bot. It is a new one every night, the bot creates a new channel and spams publications with seemingly harmless comments, but the thumbnail is the same each time and the channel is simply a link to an external porn site. As they use the same images every time, I cannot understand why KZbin can't write an algorithm that spots it as soon as it is created and blocks it immediately. A cynical person might think KZbin is happy to play along with it as it will make their stats look good with new channels created every night to boost KZbin's numbers.
