(NL) Custom Vekoma/Arrow Headbanger

http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p3890

My next track. This one will not be only H:SAKed, but more than 85% will be handmade! Trackwork is so far great, and is almost done.

Inversions (in order)

1. Butterfly
2. Reverse sidewinder
3. Corkscrew
4. Batwing
5. (not constructed yet) Double corkscrew

Total: 8

Height: 175 ft

Length (end probably +1000 ft): 3594 ft

Speed: 67 mph

Comments/questions/concerns.

P.S. I will need some feedback on how to make good corkscrews, on the banking in the lead-ins, -outs, etc.

Why don't you just use the corkscrew wizard?

It should work. I did not think of that. Thanks!

^Because, he has proper leads most likely and with the Corkscrew wizard it's a bitch to find out the right values to start the actual element.

^ Actually, it worked just fine. I just had to take one of the segments out of the wizard, hook it up with another element, set the banking to what I think would be fine, and AHGed it. It's great. Pics of it coming soon.

Edit: here is a pic of the double cork: http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i31329

Hehe! I you're face! lol

lol

Got any names for it?

Idk. Depends on what theme and colours it will have.

WHAT THE **** is H:SAK???
I really need a "Coaster Building Dictionary"...

H:SAK stands for Helix: Swiss Army Knife and is an elementary formula. You can make almost everything, using it in combination eith the purg.
You will surely ask what is the purg. The purg stands for purgatorium. It's a track tweaking tool, made by redunzelizer. You can rotate the element with it.

^ All true.

Layout finished at 4571 ft.

On traditional Vekomas and Arrows, what is the meter or foot distance on the lift supports, usually? Should I use the prefabs and build off of those?, and how far should the supports be from each other?

Would you like to see the corkscrews done this way:

or this way here: http://rcdb.com/ig118.htm?picture=7 ?

Well, since it's a Vekoma, you might want to do them like other Vekomas.

You could always just use HSAK for corks. After all there is an article and stuff on it. Even a page on NLDC.

i can do a car texture for you. I have a talent for them. The shaping on the butterfly looks a bit off. And the corks look to big.

^ want me to send it to you? Then I need your email (probably again, sorry).

^^ I think that Vekoma and Arrow corks are perfectly circular, but I do not know for sure.

^^^ It sort of is an Arrow/Vekoma. I will redo the topic title.

my email is Blackhand1001@comcast.net.

You might just want to send it on aim though. My aim is Blackhand1001.

Supports started: http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p3890

I was making them 10ft wide (track being in the exact center), 25 feet long, 25 feet between sets, around 13-17 between levels. Is this realistic?

Edit: 2 more pics added. One more set of box supports and the lift is done.

Edit: Testers still wanted until release.

Edit: Also needs a name.

I'll test. MSN/AIM/Skype [Preffered] or email me.

Will send once you reply.

Lift supports almost done.
