Neat stuff Dave. I hope you put an exploded drawing of it in with your WTC kit!

As an experiment I uploaded your video to Photobucket. If you click on the still frame below, it takes you to Photobucket where it plays the video nearly full frame.

I'll put instructions how to post Photobucket images and videos in the Tips portion of the forum, for those who are frustrated by Postimage.com's downtimes.

I did some more work

I did some more work on my bow plane Gizmo to get a few bugs out of the design. I had to change the ramp angle from 45 to 30 degrees. This makes for much smoother running. I just wanted to post a link to the video showing the operation of the unit out of the boat. You can see how simple it really is. BD.

I have had some more

I have had some more time to work on the planes and now have the kinks out of the system. This shows the smooth operation. It is still a B--CH to set up. I would only recommend it to someone with a lot of patience. BD.
