So I don’t know if anybody’s built one of these before, or is going to build one. but the way I found to make the launch ramp and make it the whole length, not just the few bits they give you before you run into the main problem being the sag of the ramps themselves as they get longer. Well, here’s a quick tip: get yourself a piece of dowel, probably quarter inch make it the entire length of the ramps when all joined together, if necessary, slightly drill out the holes in the ramps and thread all the ramps along the piece of dowel you will then have a completely straight and level ramp, which you can then attach the uprights till you run out, then you’ve got a scratch build them from plastic L shaped beams I used 2mm from evergreen I will post a completed picture when mine is finished, I’m in the middle of building at the moment
