Title: Bungee launcher
Post by: craigc on July 21, 2012, 07:23:07 AM
Does anyone have plans for a bungee launcher for prop-pusher planes (might use it for EDFs too). I don't want to try to re-invent the wheel, so an already successful design would be helpful.
Thanks
Craig    :)

A quick search in google yielded this:

looks like a solid option, me and Ronny may be building one as well.

Good Luck!

Launching a 40+oz EDF from that is going to have quite the recoil!! You can try it first lol
