Hi Aki,

I'm planning to write about them in the next Model Aviation column. However, I don't know if you get MA, and you're going to need one before then anyway, so I'll take some pics of what I have. Perhaps the other guys will share, too :)

In addition to a blast shield, I'd highly recommend mounting a winding stooge arrangement on your model box or some other portable fixture. That way you can wind at the launch point - or at least bring the wound motor out separately from the model and hook up at the launch point. That relieves a lot of stress from the model (and the flyer).
