Building a wooden ramp - opinions needed

[RCPropaganda]

I have a sweet wooden ramp I had a friend build but if I where to do it again I would have to go wider. Only down side of the ramp is its just not that wide.

Man....I wish I had known you were such a big fan before now or I would've thrown a special bonus gift in your box ?

You can throw it in my box

Great idea! Looking at it standing on end this way, the pitch actually looks really good. Should make for some good distance and height. Just watch out for those branches!

Wheels look great! Where's the launch video...?

Uploading now. I didn't go nuts because I need to stain and seal it. I was just testing for the angle, height and distance. Spoiler: It turned out ok!

Now you just need a ramp, for your ramp, so it goes into your truck!

You have leaves! Nice work on the ramp. I'd do the same l, but I don't have nowhere near the land you do.

Awesome!

Now I just need to copy your design.

I used the two video in the description. I used mostly the Mudguy one except I didn't freehand the curve. I got that from the other guy. I was unable to bend the 1/2" plywood like he did and I cut both sides at the same time like the other guys video. It's not too bad if you take your time. It's also important to make sure all your 2x4's are cut to the exact same length (47").

I did but I ended up doing all the cuts with a jigsaw, lol. I am still learning how to use a table saw.

Their great saws... I have the up most respect/Fear for the table saw in my shop. Be very careful.. No distractions allowed. Alway and I mean ALWAYS use a push stick. I've got buddies walking around missing digits on there hands. But used right... There a really handy tool to have..... Hope it serves you well.
