Grip of the Talon

[RRollergod]

Hello everyone, I am here again with another model! Grip of the Talon was an idea of mine for B&M's first compact four across dive machine. This model stands a proud 2 feet and has a real 90 degree drop! After the drop it soars into an immelan and then into a very tight helix/ tilted loop around the drop. Then the end of the helix flies under the lift dodging its own supports. I would love to ride this but sadly may not happen. This model was very hard to create since I went through three different layouts and on top of the hassle of running low on supports I had major problems with the rails. I have several cuts on my hands thanks to those devils. Along with the following pictues I also have another video. Hope you enjoy!

Doesn't seem very smooth. But I think it's cool. I've heard it's really hard to make those so good job.

Very nice! I saw these in a Hobby store yesterday I was about to but the same kit...

Thats a very cool layout there. I made a similar layout with an inverted coaster. There is a bump on the helix though, and the immlemann isn't shaped too well at the top and in the twist. Other than that, it's a sweet little coaster. It must be fun to watch.

I notice those bumps. The one on the end was hard to avoid, but works well as a brake. Also the immleman, thanks the the stress on my track (I almost ran short on spine) it is misshapen.

Good idea Turning the track upsidedown

i've seen a friend who took the cars and glued the to the top right was so its pretty realistic
