- A simple adjustable ramp for my Slingsby Prefect glider conversion, it could easily be scaled up if needed. Check out the build for the model at the end of this video, cheers.

This reminds me of international rescue. Thunder birds are go! FAB Cliff.
Thunderbird Two was always my favourite 👍
Looking good brother!!, enjoyed your chat with Adam TOO!!!
Right on Dutch 😁👍
I'm really liking the yellow and white colour scheme .looking good man .
Thanks 👍
The introducing and ending scene is all the money !!!!! Once upon a time we were naughty children......window smashing!!!!! I really love it remembering with nostalgy my child age, so lucky we were.....No computers, no play stations, no mobiles, no smart cars only fantasy and creativity.
That's funny Marios, I have a bit of a memory of window smashing as well... say no more 😁 Happy days 👍
Another beautiful video, cliff! Very interesting what you build!
Thanks Sabrina, cheers 👍
Very creative Cliff, not bad for a design as you go launcher! Can't wait for maiden day!
Thanks Adam, I can't foresee any problems but it's not until you actually put something to the test that little improvements may be needed, we'll see if only this incessant wind would drop 🤔👍
Great one Cliff, hope you fixed the Window pain 😃
Not yet Chris 🤣
Such a simple design yet so practicle crack on and fly safe
Thanks Barry, keep it simple as they say 🙂👍
Good job can't wait to see it in action
It's going to be interesting Alexis, one could even scale it up for much bigger machines I'm sure it's going to work 👍
Good stuff, Kiddo.
Thanks! 👍
A great little gadget!
We need a big version to get Matts Vulcan in the air!! 😂
Longer Ramps and a catapult would do the trick, bit like a crossbow Mike 👍😁
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes yes! That would do it!...or rocket assist 🤣
Great ingenuity! Funny though cause I was thinking along the same lines for my hand launch planes, it will need to be scalable though. Great stuff Cliff 👍
Go for it Jerry, I'm sure it would scale up 👍
You can also cover the tracks with some kind of adhesive tape or adhesive foam strips to minimize the friction on the model surfaces.
Sound advice Morco but due do the light weight and speed with which it will leave the ramp it won't be an issue, cheers 👍
Interesting jig. I guess it will need quite a strong tug initially so that it gets airborne directly and does not drag on the grass. Curious to see how it all goes. Thx for sharing!
No fears there Andrew karma it's going to go off like a rocket 😁👍
Howdy Mr Cliff! I saw you on The Model AV8R Channel this morning talking to Mr Adam so I Subscribed to your channel as well because what you are doing is amazing to me.
My 15 year old Daughter and I fly Foamies but I am ready to build my own RC Airplane out of Balsa, hopefully within the next 6 months. My Daughter has managed to get one of her friends into RC Airplanes as well and that got her Dad into them so my Daughter is in this for the long-run like myself.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information with everyone!
Hi Adam, thanks for your history and story, it's brilliant your daughter is enjoying the hobby as well. You will absolutely love building a model, it's the best feeling to see your creation in the sky 🙂👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Hi Mr Cliff! I just ordered a Chipmunk off Amazon! I really liked your Build of that Airplane so I am going to build her for a little Display Piece, well who knows I might have to attempt to fly her 🤠
My Daughter loves to fly and also we have built several Scale Off Road RC Trucks we enjoy.
@@adamrodgers2377 That's great, enjoy the build 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Thanks, have a wonderful weekend!
amazing!!!
Thanks Collin, it builds into a nice model, a little bit fiddly in places though 👍
Muito interessante o mecanismo de decolagem assim não dependerá de outra pessoa segurando antes de voar
That's the idea, plus it's going to be more exciting 😁👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes okay Very good
I’ve used plastic guttering in the past
Yeah that would work Nick, good idea 🙂 what sort of angle did you use 👍
Lets see how it works interesting....
You could just get the wife to launch it 😂
I could Mark but this is going to be an interesting way of testing a more controlled launch 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 😂
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Are you trying to say that the ground crew are simply not up to the job? No dinner for you me lad.
