Subject: Re: [RCSE] New post: hi starts ....I believe I got the Monster bungee i.e. Big Black thing from Mark Meck when ... Albert E. Wedworth ( AL ) I also have a Monster Bungee story. After purchasing a beat-up Eraser, I found my "Standard" size bungee just wouldn't do it. I purchased a Monster Bungee from Mark and on arrival couldn't wait to try it out. My first flight was a trial run at a small stretch (one times the length). Everything seemed fine and the Eraser popped up nicely without any wobble on launch. Time for the full meal deal. Hook on and walked back. The Walk got a little tough towards the end (ie 3 times the length) but even at 6'1" 220 lbs I had to lean into it a bit. Finally I turned around to face the stake and got ready to throw, arm back, check controls, arm really hurts, slip a bit in the wet grass, wide track the legs, still upright, arm back again, uh oh, the bungee is pulling me back, level the wings quick, let go, DUCK, wing takes off my hat and gives me a good thump, down I go, look down field, plane going up (thank God), sitting on my butt, watching the plane go straight up and rocketing toward the stake, pops off as if this is normal. Mark did warn me that this bungee would launch a sofa, now I believe him. Phil in Vancouver RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
