    Thanks @Ctracertx2 -- Agree the launch is tricky due to lag on slower platforms (no problem on my OSX tho)...Glad you took the time to test it. Again, I haven't seen any full-sized "working" Chinook on SP that Carrier-launches.

    No, I already have a mobile version. Was waiting to see if the large carrier launch would get any attention. I'll post the smaller version soon.... @hypnotoad

    Clarify: full-sized Carrier Launched Chinook. Never been done before. Took a couple days to build and test it, FYI, all.

    Thx, I've yet to see a successful Full-sized Helicopter on SimplePlanes until I posted this. Since most SP users are mobile-based, a challenge comes to mind but might be a bit unfair. (Unless I post my iOS small heli-launch at sea. That would level the playing field). @hypnotoad

    Thanks @hypnotoad -- Yeah I'm evil for building the Carrier files entirely on my slow Android. Then I could not download it to same device, gotta use my own desktop. @Ctracerx2 and @Spiritusraptor however can evaluate this using desktops. Sorry this was not phone-friendly!
