Hey everyone, going to keep this short. But I have finished aileron and gotten started on my next coaster. My next coaster will be called Cinque. It will be a Vekoma SLC with 5 inversions that are both unique in order and unique for SLCs

Aileron
I'm going to write a quick review of this, nothing much, but just to give you some feedback.
Honestly, this ride didn't really do it for me. The launch was great, and some of the twists and turns were really fun, the trackwork was mostly very good and the pacing was nice too (even after the trim), so I've got no complaints there really. I did think that some of the transitions were a little too snappy, but that might just be me! It was more that it just didn't feel different or new.
Don't get me wrong, it was well made, it just didn't feel like you were really pushing yourself with this ride. Hope that doesn't sound too bad! 6/10.
EDIT - I look forward to seeing how the SLC comes out too!

I'm gonna talk briefly about Aileron too.
I loved the colours. The pacing was really good, and the trackwork was mainly good.
I felt the layout to be pretty boring. Just seems like you took the ferrari coaster and made a few changes.
Either way, it's still a good ride. 7/10.

Yes I realize the bottom of the bowtie looks a little misshapen. There is a small turn in there and it's smooth with green gs. Here is a loop, I'm having a hard time smoothing the track and getting the gs good, it pulls 6 on the bowtie and 5 on the loop. Thus progress has been very slow

From that picture I can see why it would pull such extreme forces. Both the loop and the bow tie look like they are round, rather than having a more clothoid shape to them, like real rides use. How many inverts do you see with loops as circular as that?

All of those rides have a clothoid shape (that is, the radius gets smaller as it goes up).

I'd say you need a few more supports on that lift, not sure how high this ride is, but it looks easily as tall as the standard SLC: http://rcdb.com/987.htm?p=4784
