You never geeked out to Discovery Channel's "Wings" (or other shows) and saw a simultaneous bow/waist cat launch?

Yes, if you want more volume you have to double the size of the hose.
The end of the cat shot feels like you have stopped because the rate of acceleration is so strong.

For those currently in the know - - has 'WingNut' passed the baton on down the chain to this 'C-Rock'?

Nicely done video btw...even if it does give this *old guy* a seizure with a few of the video effects!

You can see that on the video from inside the cockpit when they reach the end; they get jerked around pretty good.

Royal Navy cat shots were more of a dignified ceremony:

Where does all of that liquid from the "explosion unit chamber" drain to at 1:17 ???

I love the 'puts over his launching lever smartly' comment too!
