Abstract
A launching apparatus is adapted to provide a short runway surface which is used to launch a flying model aircraft. The launching apparatus is also provided with a cavity to store the model aircraft when the launching apparatus is not in use. Thus, the launching apparatus functions as a launcher, as a means of storage and transportation for the model aircraft.
Claims29
A launching apparatus which provides a short runway for launching a flying model aircraft, the apparatus including:
- at least one runway-surface-component which has a runway-surface-portion,
- wherein, in use in a launch-arrangement, the runway-surface-portion functions as a short runway on which a model aircraft can be launched,
- wherein the at least one runway-surface-component is provided with container-means adapted to function as a storage container for the model aircraft when the apparatus is in a storage-arrangement and not in use for launching.
A launching apparatus that is provided with a runway surface which, in use, is used to launch a flying model aircraft wherein the launching apparatus is provided with a cavity to store the model aircraft therein when the launching apparatus is not in use.
Use of a launching apparatus to launch a flying model aircraft from a runway surface provided on the launching apparatus and use of the same launching apparatus to store the flying model aircraft within the launching apparatus.
A method of launching a model aircraft from a launching apparatus and storing the aircraft in the same apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing a launching apparatus which, in a launch-arrangement, provides a runway for launching a flying model aircraft, the launching apparatus including at least one runway-surface-component having a runway-surface-portion that functions as the runway;
- launching the aircraft from the runway-surface-portion;
- and
- re-arranging the launching apparatus into a storage-arrangement and storing the aircraft in container-means that is included in the at least one runway-surface-component.
