This hobby is too much fun to let a few miserable losers try and spoil it for the rest of us. My only bad experience has been with an ebay company Technicala, also known as RC-World-International.. The prices are more expensive than other stores and there is NO WARRANTY and NO RETURNS! They sometimes ship broken parts or something other than you ordered and then you are stuck with it. The nastiness of their “customer service” is unprecedented
I've seen you post this same comment on several vids of launch systems. I can give you several good reasons to use pedal launchers, particularly with EDF and Pusher park jets. The most obvious is that I typically fly larger pusher jets, often by myself. Try holding a 7lb plane with 35-40lbs of bungee pull with one hand and get consistent and smooth launches. Oh, and watch out for that prop... not a good place to hold on to the plane.
Have you seen or tried the Jepe-style launcher yet? (ROG launch with a wheeled dolly.) Perfect for flat ground take-offs and no belly-slapping with the release pedal.
a 6 foot length of short carpet would protect it from scratches as well, until landing of course! (Unless you can land it back on the carpet!)

Do you think its possible to use a spring system and make self contained?

LOL look at all that stuff on the ground for launching. All you have to do is hold the back end and let go. Some engineer must have made that.
See my favs to see what you dont need.
