questions? comments? more picts tonight.

Very Cool! Maybe the tophat has to be a little bigger and wider, but looks good so far!

No, the tophat looks perfect. I have tried this before and it was tough, good luck to you.

I think it's too wide.

If you look here: http://rcdb.com/ig2905.htm?picture=10, then Kanonen looks wider

Yeah the top hat is off, needs to be wider for sure. You're going to need more segments that that.

Maybe at the base, but your apex need to be tighter.

There is also a TINY slope going down just after the launch before going vertical.

questions comments???

Too wide in the middle now, and your dip after the launch seems too emphasized, I think it should be more subtle, but still noticeable ofcourse.

And longer I think.

I think the tophat is steeper and the top arc of it smaller.

the top of the tophat (where it's not banked) is not as sharp as yours. also, the "dip" is not a dip at all; the track levels out from the slight incline of the launch before going into the tophat...

...as you can see here.


in terms of height, the section that crosses over the river after the tophat is a bit lower than the way you have it...

Could be one of the harder rides to recreate. On par with Maverick - ridiculously small transitions that gotta be smooth and heartlined.

Ride looks familiar [:D]
Nah, just looks GREAT (bit short)

I appreciate your courage and determination on dealing with out criticism. You get a lot of it when you recreate something. As of now the tophat of yours seems to round, and needs to me a little more triangular like on the real thing.

^Thats one of the better descriptions. More triangular for the track, but the heartline I bet will reflect something more round. Good luck.

update coming very soon, withing the next hour probably

I see it's coming along really well! As I said before, I'm here to test if you need me! (except for the period between now and 10 days from now)

Well, heres one picture...

I might be a pain in the A$$, but your turn (between the top hat and the loop) is banked, and the real one isn't...

it is banked, just not as much as i have it, thanks for pointing it out

I think the top of the tophat is more level.

Kanonen has a powerful circular loop, from what I saw yours is too colloid-ish [Edit: Clothoid-ish]. And it's closer to the tophat.

By "colloid" do you mean clothoid?
