Regulars at Howards field will be familiar with the sight of Christopher hand launching his Coyote. When he saw this device in use at a fly-in last year, he decided to give his arm muscles a rest. Next thing Steve knew, Christopher had built a replica and was looking to hitch a ride on Dad's Limbo Dancer.
The device works very reliably and the Limbo Dancer seems pretty untroubled by the extra load.
The pictures should make give a good idea of how the release cradle is constructed. For the evidence that it works, click here for a short video clip.
