Launch Ramp Plans
Ok, for all of you who want to build a launch, I've got some good plans for you. Materials needed: 1. 3'x6' sheet of treated plywood 2. 4\"x4\" (8') treated 3. 2\"x4\" (8') treated 4. A lot of 2\" nails, and some 4\" screws 5. Saw (doesn't matter what kind) 5. Hammer 6. tape measure 7. some patience
First of all the launch is 1'6\"x3' so get a marker/pen and draw out the rectangle of the dementions (keep measuring to make sure that every thing is square/right size), then cut.
Cut out three 2' sections of the 4\"x4\", line up like almost perfect with how the tilt and and every thing is going to be. draw the lines to cut on the 4\"x4\" and cut so that all three will fit flush with the tilt and hammer nails into where the 4 corners of the 4\"x4\" and one in the middle of each one (make sure they don't stick above the ply wood). Then cut 2 1'6\" sections out of the 2\"x4\" screw them across (in the middle and bottom) of the 4\"x4\" (with the 4\" screws).
Then to give the plywood some bracing cut out a 2'6\" section out of the 2\"x4\" and align it in the middle of the plywood going down the center, then (with some help) nail (from the plywood going in to the 2\"x4\") nail it into place with as many as you thing you need. And thats some plans for anyone who needs plans on a launch ramp. Buy the Launch Ramp already Finished! X Games Launch Ramp Single Pack
