Extreme Bungee Launch & Crash!!!

[ROYALxHERETIC]

...Now throw it that far...

[pastryness]

John Malkovich!?

[GutpileCharlie]

Been there and done that......but didn't end up in a tree. Used to fly a yellow "Wanderer" and launched it like that. That was back in about 1978.

[krankschaft]

hi what's the mass of your aircraft? i need to make some sense to the scaling of my third year project in college. thank you for your help!

[SaskView]

@krankschaft Around 25 Oz

Excellent video! I built my first 2m glider and my own "hi-start" some 35 years ago... It's important to get the right ID/OD latex tubing to match your glider. This technique is especially good and safe in a stiff breeze. That same hi-start proved a bit strong for a 2m, but ideal for a Paragon I later built. A shorter version, or "up start", was great for school playgrounds, with that same big Paragon. Better strong than weak, though scarier.

[SaskView]

@awuma Thanks!

@TheJoker9701

after you know how to fly with bungee you can add 82 feet of rubber tubing and 164 feet of fishing line and you can have a 260 feet height and a chance to catch thermals and so., so you could be flying for hours !!!!

I personally recomend a rubber of 1/4 for rubber planes, you can buy it by weight and at any long! this rubber can stretch more thand the other rubber !!

[stuarteggerton]

Great camera work well done, the Gentle Lady is a nice RC glider :-)

[SaskView]

@stuarteggerton Thanks!

[21Blitz]

This was fantasic, to bad the camera was wasent faceing forward!!:)

[TurtlesAnonymous]

My friend did this, he broke the bungee.

and his arm.

[DotCmaker01]

fly 2 more, you'll get a TREE-SOME...

[SaskView]

@DotCmaker01 Ahahah!

[cheeseymovies47]

Thumbs up for the crash!

[TehEpicReviewer]

Now go pick it up, enjoy the walk.

[lyric142]

Can you face the camera forwards next time? This is too awesome for words!!

[SaskView]

@TheJoker9701 If you just used the rubber tubing and no tow line, you'd only get about 50 feet of height on launch. Add a couple hundred feet of line to the end of the bungee cord and the launch is that might higher...

[rockyabq]

Nice vid! (from Albuquerque :o)

[TheGuitarjammer]

what kind of camera did you attach to the plane?

[SaskView]

@TheGuitarjammer It's listed at the bottom of the description. Cheap at the time, about the size of a flip, but with an fold out LCD. Perfect for bigger gliders/planes.

[MahvidsFTW]

I love your Thanx's

[vietnamisalv]

whwt is your record ?

mine is well over half an hour

[SaskView]

@vietnamisalv Almost a half hour. Have only managed to catch a thermal once, but what a rush. Wish I would have had the camera installed for that one.

[MineCraftGuyThing]

Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure your camera is backwards :3. Nice shots!

[Broxigar2511]

nice

[Akirasip]

how would it looked like if camera was turned opposite direction?

[HimGuyOverThere]

You make me smile

[TheGingerGamingMan]

SIT UBU!

[PhioenixPinion]

It would suck if someone got hit by that pin....

[12345wesify]

oh yeah sorry it crashed

[12345wesify]

awesome awesome 10 star

[nextandykaufman]

the sound effects were the best

[johnrivierok]

No trees were hurt in the making of this video... XD

[euklid216]

damn, you often end up in trees :P

[Darkczarek]

Cool wiev!

[lolhed]

well now you know how to get cheap flights

[jeffke4]

how do those planes always manage to get stuck in trees ? i know how it feels i have one too

[vladimir0B]

lol the best way to lose a tiny camera and a plane!

[runeman464]

if only that tree wasnt there, that thing could've flew for miles!

[nisseandn]

next time we go 4 space!!!!!!!!

[sushilaceymax]

I'm so trying that!!!!!!

[MrDixieChicken]

[SaskView]

@MrDixieChicken Thanx!

[GryphusLionheart]

[TheSoarer151]

[SaskView]

@TheSoarer151 Thanx!

[ppyla]

[Skydive4ever]

[saskchic1011]

LOL....i like the end. Awesome video!

[SaskView]

Thanks!

[Jalyga]

Amazing Footage !

[sslusshy]

Wow that seems like a lot of fun. I got one of my planes stuck in a tree a few weeks ago. Was so high I was scared of falling to my death but I couldn't leave my precious up there lol

[SaskView]

Same here! Getting too old for climbing!

[brusspup]

hahaha that was awesome. It was cool when the camera picked you up ..throwing it out of the tree. And for a second there, I thought it landed in another tree. 5 stars!

[SaskView]

Thanks Sir!

For take-off, that angle worked great. I kind of figured it would be a cool shot, but even I was surprised at how well it worked out.

[keeptubing]

cool! Sorin

[MustangPilot1]

nice video! Which camera?

[SaskView]

Thanks Mustang! Please push the subscribe button and watch every one of my videos and you'll find out, hehehhe!

Or you could just look further down these comments, it's mentioned there ;-)

[brandom741]

kool

[daneboe]

Holy crap, looks like you had to climb pretty high to get the glider back!

[SaskView]

I was only about 10 feet up. Any higher and I would have got out the axe (just kidding)!

[HesterMcLester]

The crash and rescue from the tree was awesome!!!

[gdub555]

really cool! thats one long bungee

[SaskView]

50 Feet of UV resistant rubber tubing...same stuff they use on sling-shots.

[mattmovies101]

right into the tree!!

nice!

[PugetSoundFlyer]

Super video !

What kind of camera did you use?

[SaskView]

Jazz Elite HDV178: low cost, fixed focus, only electronic zoom but it does passable 720P HD. It's about the size of a deck of playing cards.

[wibrle]

Cool video and point of view.

[greeenpro2009]

I love this video.

[matttchapman]

i have always wanted to try doing something like this. Awesome!

[Nextraker]

Wow, man Great shots..... Awesome view
