Very interesting. Bungee launching small gliders on a summer evening is my favourite way to fly. I put the TX on a neckstrap, I use two hands on the glider, my left is on the fuselage and my right is on the wingtip. At the instant of launch, I take the TX in the right hand and then launch. I also have a small corkscrew stake, I've seen a few nasty moments with straight stakes.

Yes I have a dog screw gate for standard size bungee.. I am not a fan of neck straps as my father stumbled over and impaled the Ariel through his eye.

Many thanks for this, learnt a great deal .

Great video, practical with the right info and very useful, I will give this bungee launching a try, cheers

Nice video. I just bought a pug kit for Xmas, so have watched a few of your videos. Great stuff! thank you! I do think you're a braver man than me, using a 'tent peg' anchor. Even on a light bungee I'd probably still want to use a dog stake or run it through a pulley. 😬

Thanks it’s a good point about bungee but the micro bungee is no bigger than an elastic band

Nice video Nick. I will buy a bungee as soon as possible 😁. Greetings from Germany. Dirk

Thanks Nick, Do you think it'll work with the Prandtl wing??

yes mate but the hatch would need filling in. Personally i would add a lot of line to tow and keep the speed up :)

Hello. Can you put one small brushless motor on this type of plane?! Instead of a bungee?!

Yes mate

Hi. I am guessing the correct place for the hook to be placed is approximately a third back from the front leading edge of the wing, on the model! Is this correct please? Also please, what do you use as the hook, on the model? Thanks for your help.

Hi mate I always look at 20 degrees angle from Cg forward I use a mini metal cup hook straighten Or a small plastic cup hook using tape glue

@@NickChittyFlying Thats a mega big help. Thanks so much. DLG the easy way. Looked on the site for the bungee, and have noticed they have done a upgraded one now. A bit different to the one you reviewed. Have a look. Getting a bit to old to spin like i used to! Ha ha. Thanks again, Keith.

Do you think this would launch a West Wings Swallow?

Yes and it has I would add more line

I'd get a larger metal tent stake. Scary

Yeah. I make mine out of a bag of rubber bands linked together and a wooden stake plus 50' of string. Costs about $10.

Did I miss the part about hook placement?
