    As JackFrost said, stretch can be an issue with long runs. This can be alleviated by making one of the wheel assemblies:
    1) adjustable (like the freewheel tightener on the belts of your car)
    2) self-adjustable with a spring (this can be fun as you have to tension towards the outside of the path without blocking the downward and slightly outward travel of the ghost)

    Cool Re: A flying what ?

    Here are a few things i have been working on for my flying rig for Christmas and Halloween. I know they look ruff around the edges up close but from 30 feet away at night they will look grate.
