Ventus - K'nex Eurofighter

video Ventus - K'nex Eurofighter
This is my new K'nex coaster, Ventus.

The Ventus were the Greek Gods of wind, which is the style this coaster has.
Within 3 months I builded this coaster, which is an Eurofighter with many crazy elements. It has some 'original' elements, new style elements and own elements. This is one of the first Micro K'nex coasters to feature full theming. 
Elements:
  • 97* drop
  • Dog Tongue
  • 2 airhills
  • Turnaround
  • Hearthline roll
  • Many turns
Have fun watching the video!

Want to see how I builded this coaster, more detailed description and things like the initially planned layout? Check out my Blog

You should enter your coaster in the toy challenge http://www.instructables.com/contest/toy2/

I can't, since that contest started after my coaster was published.

Very annoyingly... The turn uses up too much speed... I will be posting an update tonight.

Nice I'm not much of a micro knex fan but when I see stuff like this built out of it it's amazing. Great job :)

Try micro out once, it's pretty good! (and saves storage space :P )

Maybe, but I've herd it's not structurally strong.

Dec 21, 2011. 10:15 PMRNB (author) says:
True, but if you make good supports (like these tubes), and add a lot of cross-braces it's strong enough, since the cars are not heavy too.

Nice coaster! Maybe I should build some day a coaster... :)

You SHOULD do that!

Just a big problem is, that I don't have much roller-coaster stuff....

Micro track is not that expensive. You can buy some.

Dec 21, 2011. 7:50 AMSorunome says:
But the problem is: I don't even have one single micro knex piece! :P

Dec 21, 2011. 7:52 AMRNB (author) says:
Get some. Search Ebay :)

Dec 21, 2011. 7:55 AMSorunome says:
Well, I heared a lot of bad stuff about micro pieces, that they are money not worth etc. and I needed anyway a lot of normal pieces for catastropha, and I don't know if I have enouth even yet....and I want to buy me a laptop, so I don't think that I'm able to spend money on them atm, sorry... :(

:( Micro K'nex isn't that bad, you just need to learn how to handle it.

Dec 21, 2011. 8:03 AMSorunome says:
Oh, ok. But another reason why I think I don't buy micro knex is that i'm going in half a year for a year to the us, of cource without knex :P
