It works great if the plane is light enough and strong enough to take the
force.
I have designed one specifically for launching my Noseeum and have been
considering putting it in a kit form. I haven't done this simply because you
can get adequate launch height with discus launching and you don't need the
apparatus.
I haven't built a Noseeum specifically for atlatl launching, but I beleive
that launch heights of over 150ft. would be possible. I was launching to
around 100' to 120' with a noseeum with no spars, but it would flutter and
the tape would need re-ironing after about 6 launches. A couple of carbo
spars would fix that. I am not ready to give out the design details of the
atlatl and those that I emailed a copy to have promised not to pass it on,
but I may make the plans available if there is some interest.
