##***WHOOP!***##
Racing style launching pad for Tiny Whoop, Blade Inductrix or similar brushed quadcopters. Launching your quad in a canted forward position allows starting at a higher speed, eliminating the need of climbing before gaining forward speed.
**Update:**
- **31 Oct 2017**
- Modified ball/socket geometry for a stiffer joint.
- Tweaked motor dimple positions to for better fitting.
**Features:**
- Ball joint design allows pivoting up to approx. 20 degrees in any direction.
- Thin arms prevents unintentional lifting your quad by ground effect, especially from idle speed / air mode.
- Dimple shaped recesses provide just enough retention without "sinking" too deep into the launching pad.
**Notes:**
- Launching in extreme angle can be problematic if your quad is in **Angle / Horizon / auto-leveling modes**, launching in **Acro / Rate Mode** is recommended, or just do the whole race in Acro, it's challenging and FUN!
- **Test ability to arm before flig
