ramping it up

[BruceRC]

My ramp is very similar to Josh's and here's what it's capable of.

Woah, that is one nasty wreck. On that grass? It's pretty hardcore how proud you appear.

A new chassis from Jenny's was only 8 bucks. It was so worth it! . Where in Nova Scotia do you live? Gf is from Newfoundland but has relatives in Nova Scotia. Oh I see Cape Breton.

Gf is from Newfoundland

Love Newfoundland, lots of friends there. Fantastic place!

Hell ya! That pic is easily worth 8 bucks, too.

Went to the lumber mill this morning and grabbed some wood.

Dimensions are 42" wide, 42" long, 24" high with 6" of 45 degrees on launch. Cheap wood. Sides are 1/2 inch spruce ply. There's four 2x4 SPF studs as main braces for the sides and five 2x3 studs for the ramp face. I used a quarter inch hardboard for the face and countersunk the screws. I might put another sheet of quarter inch hardboard on top of it.

I thought about going 48" wide and long but wanted to easily fit it in the SUV. 42" made that easier and I still think I'll be able to hit it decently.

It was great, lots of fun. I've had it out a few times now and it's the biggest air I have hit. There's a video earlier in this thread of some of the jumps.
