    @Planetinker Ahh, yes, same happened (is happening) to me :)... also a lot of people use the detachers for suspension. One of the Devs has a chasis, moonster truck I think, Murphy... which has been done realy well.

    @SpiritusRaptor Thank you! Your Glider Launch System was my inspiration to start experimenting with the detachers. Started with stringing detachers together and activating groups in sequence in an attempt to push heaver airframes without dammage. That failed big, but then I noticed the rotators' elastic property.

    Superb! I have been working on aircraft carrier catapult, but pushing limits and things bowing up - this dampening idea is the solution! well done!
