Steve's LEGO Blog
“This is the first set to contain small wagon wheels (rather than the larger variation) and the barrel, round shields, and horse barding are also very welcome additions. The double catapult design is not the most realistic but it is interesting none the less. Overall not a... More bad little set.”

Brickipedia
“A lightweight, double-armed black catapult was the subject of 1987's 6039 Twin Arm Launcher set. The hinged, "finger-powered" catapult arms on the four-wheeled rig hurled 1×1 yellow bricks as ammunition, and was manned by two Crusaders knights, one on horseback.”

“Twin Arm Launcher, released in 1988, was the first catapult for the Lion Knights. This dual catapult comes with a soldier on horseback and a siege worker. Various accessories such as round shields, a barrel, and weapons are included.”

About Castle Lion Knights

The Lion Knights were released the same year as the Black Falcons in 1984. As with the Black Falcons, LEGO never officially named this faction for some time, although catalogues in the United States and Australia used the name Lion Knights while Canada used Lion Crest. The Lion Knights were in open conflict with the Forestmen, as shown by several catalog settings.

Lion Knights consists of 19 sets that ran from 1984 to 2014. As of today, 1584 Knight's Challenge is the most valuable Lion Knights set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $4,101.
Summary
Castle Lion Knights Twin-Arm Launcher set 6039 was released in March 1988, retailing for $9, but has since been retired. New, unopened Twin-Arm Launcher sets are valued at $333, while used sets can be found for $35.
