Re: pic: The Fling-A-Pult

Thanks for sharing the pic.

At QC, I noticed that as your shooter went through it's cycle, there was a dramatic difference in speed between the 1st and 2nd half of the rotation. Is the speed/acceleration of the 1st half all motor or do you have some kind of stored energy (spring or air) contributing to it? I assume the slow return is for better positioning and easier reloading?
