FingerAngle

310 lb cw/2.13 pounder. 145:1 mass ratio 888 feet

Well it wasn't the thousand feet I was looking for, but I'll take it. I love the new spot, but I still lost one. ugh

Most counterweight that's been on the machine, and a 2.2 pound pumpkin. The axle did not bend, but the release pin did. I have to up-grade both. I couldn't measure the shot, but it was around 950 feet, and high.

Actually it had 305 pounds on, 200 in 25s, 70 in 10s, 35 in the hanger and bars. 174:1 mass ratio. Needs some finger angle, and an inch shorter sling.

123:1 mass ratio. 225 lb cw/1.83 lb pumpkin. +/- 900 feet

Shortened the sling 1 inch. Front loaded 145#, back loaded 125#, +the hanger 20# for a total of 290# and a 1.94# pumpkin. 150:1 mass ratio. 12 second hang time. Results show the back pull of the arm at stall was eliminated along with the stall. Good energy transfer. High launch angle, and very high launch. So high in fact that I couldn't even see it anymore. Next task is to drop the launch angle, and pull the arm further over the top by closing the gap a few degrees, dropping the cw further behind bottom deadcenter and give it some finger angle...Adding pin angle might bring the stall back. not that that's a bad thing... Fine tuning
