Everybody has
to look stupid at some time.
This will be my stance when completed, probably.
|
|
Undercarriage
is the next job, here I'm testing for wheel position
and height. |
|
|
|
I am trying
not to cut in to the drone to much, so I'm am making
as
much
use of the skin retaining screws as possible. The places
that I have chosen for fixing are part of the main structure,
so should be plenty strong enough.
|
|
Port side undercarriage
completed (apart from the brakes), also needs a coat
of paint. |
|
|
|
Mini Moto brake
calipers added and frames painted. |
|
Rear undercarriage completed. Now
for the front.
|
|
|
|
Start of the front wheel assembly, an old racing bike
kindly donated by Oswestry
Cycles will form the best part of the front supporting
structure.
|
|
Lower wheel support frame. |
|
|
|
| Upper wheel and head stock of old bike frame. |
|
Just need to add brake cables and that's the wheels completed.
|
|
|
|
Battery Compartment and Battery's
added. As the Lucas turbine is an air start unit, I can
safely get away with using low current battery's, plenty
of power for the control panel and other systems. |
|
The air impingement pipe is now
routed via a HP air valve, which is controlled from the
control panel. |
