Hi guys, I need to attach a launch pin/hook to my wing, but I don't know without it being pulled out or where to put it.
I need help, I'm intending to use my new launcher this Sunday and I've only got today to sort something!
Get a square bit of ply or flexible plastic, eg a DVD cover. Put your hook through a hole so it's held nicely and then use super strong fiber tape to stick the flat plate of plastic/plywood to the underside of your wing and bob's your uncle.
As far as I'm aware you wan't it forward of the CG point but not all the way forward. I'm sure someone else can verify who has more bungee experience.

Nice one mate, just need to figure out what to use for a hook!!
Hardware store should have some sturdy hooks. Or you can make one yourself out of a bit of coat hanger or something. Just double a bit up and fold it over.
Right, I ended up doing dogzillas suggestion. A bit of CD case and a home made hook from some stiff 2mm wire. I made a slight recess to fit the wire in so I could get the plastic over the top. I've used gorilla glue so hopefully it will dry nice and firm and put tape over to hold in place. It doesn't look pretty, here's hoping it works on Sunday!
