This is my DIY rcwing bungee launching plateform.
I made it to launch my rc fpv wings because it's way more fun !
This design presents many advantages:
it's fairly easy to build
it can be assembled and disassembled quickly in the field without tools
it's light and super compact once disassembled
you can modify it to fit your aircraft dimensions
ALL YOU NEED TO DO:
1) print the different parts (make it STRONG ! > minimum 50% infill and 1.2mm walls) :
8x M6 screw holders
4x M6 bolt holders
4x 20mm tube caps
2) glue together with hot glue gun or CA glue (Be generous with glue, will last longer) :
glue 4x m6 40mm screws in 4x screw holders
glue 4x m6 20mm screws in 4x screw holders
glue 4x m6 bolts in 4x bolt holders
glue 4x m6 20mm screws in 4x screw holders
3) cut the 20mm ext diameter tubes in the right dimensions for your plane (17mm diam inside)
eg : for my z84 wing (hobbyking):
2x bottom tubes 280mm long
2x small vertical tubes 180mm
2x medium vertical tubes 220mm
2x long tubes 800mm
4) drill tubes according to the pictures
5) glue the screws and the bolt holders according to the pictures (carefull > mind the holes alignement !)
Enjoy !
