when Mace gets that carrier launch thingy could you someone make a skijump carrier so you can launch the kestrel off end you can get back onto the carrier by hovering over it and landing on it.
what do you think?
maybe someone could make a carrier now so we can test cos i think the kestrel has enough poke to get off the ski jump without the launcher!

The ski jump carriers don't have a catapult. The aircraft take off entirely on their own power.

Yeah, Mighty's right. That's the whole point about the ski jumps: The Harriers can take off with a big increase in load over the same distances, with the same (or less) speed.

OHH! thast is great so all we need to do is to make a model of the carrier and we could use it (but i expect that it would be difficult because we would haev to get the ramp nice and smooth!
