The Warwolf trebuchet was originally the largest trebuchet in history, built in 1301 AD by King Edward the first of England in his attack on the Scotts at Stirling Castle. The arm on his machine reached over fifty feet high! These plans are for a 1/10 scale model of that machine.
When properly built and tuned (tuning is explained in the instructions) this machine is capable of hurling a one pound missile over one hundred feet, using only forty pounds of counterweight. The detailed instructions are complete with diagrams, photos, tuning tips, historical notes and web links for even more information about trebuchets!
It's a great science experiment, and a great model just to have fun with for a different kind of target practice.
