Check my other video bungee detailed review, I have listed all components
The anchor handle makes it easy to remove it from your body.
Would you use this setup to launch a non powered sailplane also?

if it is to launch on a slope yes we are also using it this way
Bravissimo molto informativo e molto meglio del dolly!
Bien expliqué!
What's the point if it's powered ?

Dave, this is a sailplane that have been retrofitted with a motor, so the stock landing gear doesn't allow for the prop clearance. It also add a certain level of safety to avoid prop strike and put you to flying speed with a known heading. I had a couple of take off from dolly or cart where you are not exactly sure where you are heading when you are taking off from grass

@@StephaneRuelle Make sense Stephane. Good idea and well realized.
Nice, but watch out, I crashed my Nimbus 4 with this type of bungee launch years ago, the cable got stuck in propeller shaft

I will do my best to avoid that, usually as you can see in the video, I am waiting the ring to fall before activating motor, there is plenty of time with the altitude gained
