This is a mechanism in place to launch the X8, when its weight is 5.3 kg. his recovery is done by parachute. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/list?user=15tihx7n8mzza
the mechanism is very reliable for heavy winged lanzameinto. unfortunately my x8 fell into a bad spin maneuver and crashed, and I could not keep doing pruenbas with APM.

Very Nice ! I like the tie back on the tripod. Having the tripod probably shortens the bungeee 50 to 75 feet.
@Nat W with a bungee the learning curve is usually trial and error and quick . the wings must be level or it will go
veering off to one side maby cart wheel . Nose down bite the dust , and it should be set up for a clean release if it doesn.t release it will be a spectacular launch to altitude only to come up tight on the bungee and come right back down. with a bit of practice a bungee offers a efficient economical launch to altitude over rough terain
Very interesting, i just couldn't help but think what would of happened if the bungee made it crash into the ground.
