Why do you prefer a launching peg instead of finger hole?
Does one provide better launches?
Stephen,
Both Joe and I seem to do better with the pegs. It's also a little easier
to build, just cut two holes in the fuselage sides, slip it through and
glue it in place. Make sure you get a nice epoxy joint all around the peg
at both ends, and that you reinforce it as shown with glass tape.
One other hint, if you don't plan to use a towhook, install the peg ABOVE
the lower carbon longeron. This will be a bit stronger, and also helps
reduce the tendency to pull downward on the pegs as you release.
