**This 'Thing' is not complete at the time of publishing. Hopefully will be completed soon.** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0HsWktBPlk Project: **RC Plane Launcher** I find it hard sometimes trying to hold the radio and hand launch a plane at the same time. I have seen bungee cord launchers that are basic but required a very long bungee cord to work. While searching for more Ideas I saw a launcher that didn't require a long cord but used pulleys to help get the force needed to get the plane in the air. So I took both Ideas and made this up.
