I wasn’t the cords that was the problem. It was the chute bags; They never opened properly.
The alternative, not having a bag, wouldn’t work either- It’ would open itself before you’d want it to. If you’re not lucky, it might even open with the pilot still secured to his seat, thus causing the plane to crash in an unplanned way, breaking wings or even worse the fuselage. Not a good plan.
I wonder if it would be possible to add a small motor and prop to extend flight time…

I am trying to figure out where to put a clip so I can shoot this plane with a large rubber band.

Maybe mid way on the fuselage?

there is that grey plastic piece on the bottom that snaps into the cockpit. I was going to try to put a stud there . I will try it this week if it ever stops raining

Slingshot. Big one.
You may have to custom build it.

Well I'm not a happy camper. I bought the new black and white plane Friday and crashed and burned the same night. I was in my backyard and threw the plane and it was soaring good until a small gust of wind blew it towards my work van.  It went under my van but the tail piece clipped the exhaust pipe. Well, no more tail piece. It still can fly but not as far and its very unstable.

That’s not a design defect, it’s pilot error.

I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread.

I found this yesterday at Winners (in Canada) for $12.99.

It does seem to work good.
