New Endpin Installed: Test Launch

• New endpin has been installed.
• Balloons' weights not measured and distances approximated. This test is only for observations of any noticeable improvement.
  

Test 1

• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Appx. Distance: ~90ft

Test 2

• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Appx. Distance: ~90ft

Test 3

• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Appx. Distance: ~90ft

Test 4

• Tennis Ball Weight: 56g
  
• Tennis Ball Name: Wilson
  
• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Appx. Distance: ~90ft

Observations/Conclusions:

• The trebuchet's accuracy is now highly accurate, with every projectile landing in almost the exact location.
• The throwing distance has not been improved.
• Sling is being released too late. Angle of endpin needs adjusted.

Modifications

• Potentially dangerous bolt protruding from bottom of throwing arm has been trimmed.

Future Plans

• Endpin can't be adjusted. New one will need to be made.

New Endpin

A new endpin as been created using a 2in pin compared to the previous 1in pin. The angle of the pin is 30 degrees. It will be tested once the glue has dried.
