Looks cool. Now we need someone to make it in NL.

so far looks very accurate.

thanks. i would start on the transition from the flatspin to the zero-g roll but it hasn't been constructed yet. as soon as i get pictures i will start on that...

I thought that Hyyyper made a recreation of it.

I always look forward to your creations, and thus far, this looks like it's no exception. Well done.

Im not too sure, but I thought the cork in real pictures looks higher in relation to the lift then in your ride so far. Looks good though!

nice job so far, but everytime I look at a pic of the real drop and the one on yurs, it always seems different, but I can't really find anything wrong.

the flatspin(corkscrew)is exactly 103 feet

yeah i've been looking at the construction pictures very closely and i've been my best to get it as accurate as possible.

The corkscrew is way to spread out, it needs to be shorter in length. Also the lift is 45*. Yours looks to be a tad less than that.

His corkscrew is dead on, surprisingly the actual Tatsu has a corkscrew that is just as spread out as that, or at least close to the exact same.

His corkscrew isnt even close to "right on"...maybe SM has closer together ties or something making it seem long. But thats not how the real thing is.

In what way? It crosses over the lift exactly at the same point as the actual, it is at the exact same point in its rotation when crossing over the lift as in the real one, and it is just as wide as the actual.
Compare it to this-http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmnew06/sfmm02250651.jpg
My only concern would be that perhaps the flatspin needs to be raised a bit, but thats hard to tell for sure, and since the height of it is known and Ballerboi already showed he is aware of it as well, I'm sure he has it at the right height.

^ I dunno... Looks pretty accurate...

You dont see the difference between his 1st pic, and this... http://rcdb.com/ig3305.htm?picture=20

i'll get you some more screenshots...

Actually, no I dont SFMM...Aside from the fact his is much farther zoomed out and taken at about a 10 degree tilt, they look about the same.

Here are some more screenshots =)

yeah i have caged cockatiel birds in my backyard. Yeah i couldn't edit that out haha sorry about that... hehe

Your computer is outside? Or are your birds just really loud! lol

too bad SM's physics suck failure and the pacing is totally unrealistic for an accurately made recreation
