Yes, internal parts are for the fingers when using the rubber band launch.

Makes a big difference for launching. Have been installing on all models now. The F-4 with the really small tail might be okay.

SKY OV Supersonic Passenger Aircraft Model: Needs nose weight to fly. Added some glue to see if that might work.
