lawrocket 3 #6 October 19, 2006 Hmmm. Building? No. Antenna? Nope. Span? Not quite. Earth? No. Maybe it requires a new category. Catapult (BASEC)? Slingshot (BASES)? Trebuchet (BASTE)? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had a reverse bungee (a ball like cage you sit in) at the casino in the town i used to live in a few years ago, and the guy there said it was something like 6g acceleration. But im thinking that BASE might have been a bit more to get him extra altitude... Some dream of flying, i live the dream... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

btwitche1975 0 #11 October 19, 2006 Have you ever seen one of the giant trebuchets hurling large object for over a mile. My idea is simple: place one on the edge of a valley, aim it slightly skyward, and charge 200$ a launch. Some testing might be in order. It might also serve as an effective tool in teaching AFF students to get stable quickly. /* This is my rig...
