Here's what it looks like mounted to a very clever base. (photos courtesy of Flyboyz.com)

I want to build this one now! The only thing I'd add, are foam pads to the tail-fork faces.. (LOL) fork face.. (don't want to fork up a nice paint-job )

You can spend the $25+ shipping for Brodak's release-pin mechanism... or build it yourself.. which is quite easy.

I see this is for larger models not 1/2a or the release string will bee over the top of the stabilizer , so either a smaller version or go with the wood strip guide ? not sure yet time will tell // definitely a new release is in planes , I got the carpt. reel idea from someone else on hear Maybe Phil What?

I need to look at the "portable runway" concept too, as there is no dedicated c/l field nearby. Probably some thin hardboard with textile hinges and a built-in stooge.

Thanks for the words of warning, guys

My "Portable Runway" is a few 18"x24" coroplast (corflute) signs taped together accordian style with wide filament tape to fold up for storage, then simply pull out to make the runway on the grass. I get the signs free a week after the latest election cycle. Oregon law here says that by seven days after an election, all campaign signs must be removed or the campaign gets fined for each sign. On day eight, I figure any signs left on the side of the road are fair game. Wouldn't want the campaigns to get fined, Y'know...

Well, the elections are coming again, next month I think. Seen the first ads already Huh...

About time we get rid of those bozos running the country, although most likely a lot of them will get re-elected. Well, in democracy, the public gets the leaders it deserves.

Up here the candidates usually put up paper and board posters (recyclable). I haven't seen any plastic signs yet, but I haven't really looked at them close. Maybe this time there's some plastic signs too Smile

Thanks for the tip.

Over here, it's sick that whoever can pour the most money into a campaign has the best chance of winning. The ones who are smartest and care most about the wellbeing of our country may not be able to afford the cost of making themselves a household name. I also hate the party system, where to survive you have to follow the party line or be ostracized. Completely counter productive, ensuring short-sighted policy planning and bandaid fixes for long term problems. Our 2016 presidential electing should start rolling any time now.

I don't know Joe. I saw it on that other forum and could not envision it as a stooge or one man launcher. I looks like it's calibrated to measure tension. At least it has the Cox name cast into the handle!! Small Cox Logo
