Last year I built my first indoor catapult launched glider. It was sort of based on Kurt Krempet's plans on his web site. It was intended for use in a Cat. 1 or 2 site. After a few horizontal test flights & adjustments I determined it was time to launch it vertically. The first launch it hit the "launching stick" (does that stick have a better name?) & almost destroyed it. After repairs, I tried again. This time it hit the stick again & was completely destroyed. I located the rubber hook near the nose & the grip was located under the wing. I am thinking of building another one this year. I was told I should locate the hook under the wing & the grip behind the stabilizer. What do you think was my problem? Now there is an opening!
