Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's Aircraft Catapult

A quick drone launcher that I started in English class earlier today. Didn't quite get it to work as I hoped, however, it still works.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Throttle to full,
VTOL down,
wait for the spring to load,
press 1,
then immediately press 2 right after to launch the craft before the end of the ramp.

NOTE:
The drone isn't the best flyer. Be careful with it as it cannot do tricks.

INFO:
The drone was modeled after the RQ-7

    I tried it with my old F-14 took the wheels away, and added tons of weight, made it work with a detacher like this here and it worked fine! But i will give it a go but i dont know how u made this work @BaconAircraft

    The issue with a reusable/multi aircraft catapult is that the game doesn't like high speed part collision very well. If a detacher is not put into place, it either glitches through or explodes. However, I sure can help you try to get the spring if you need any xml help. :) @Luuk2909

    What do u think of making an catapult, so people make this a sub assembly comnect it to the front or bottom of the aircraft and shoot it away, btw I tried it with this, it worked decent enough but didnt look cool @BaconAircraft

    @BaconAircraft, Bacon Airways should be an airline, and its logo is your profile photo. Wow, I'm just imagining how magnificent that would look, just gliding in for touchdown!
