excess baggage costs I imagine,
Saby is travelling from somewhere in Canada, to Ivanpah
Ok,
s
o I don't have a bunch of photos yet, but here are a couple to PRoove that I am for real. I had to learn how to weld and convert metric to inches, not to mention purchasing tools and rummage around metal scrap piles!!!
I am having fun though
If you like WillyNilly I could find a Metric Tape for you and send it maybe??
Save all the conversion crap, Metro is simpler than Imperial or Yanky Std. Why else do you think us Aussies took it on?? Like how hard is it to divide 1000 x 100 x 10 or by 5??? Most of these guys need to get their shoes off to count above 10.
Jees! am I ever gonna cop it for this??[}:)]

PS Only if you promise not to take my name in Vain.
Hey nikrum, with two of my fingers shortened by explosive "accidents" I can count in fractions, otherwise I can count to eleven before I take off my shoes[}:)]
YO! TP1,
You are sounding like the Irishman and the Grenade.. You still got your tackle???

It appears that you are running your Mast Over the Step. Don't forget to taper the Top 1" so there no sharp edges for the CF to break on. With a Mast inside the Step Support it has to be Flared. It is hard to tell from the Pic's but have you angled the mast step back at the top ??? If not look at LLM's and other LY's they are all angled back. If in doubt Ask ask. No one will put S***T* on you.

Keep us posted, please
Here's the ultimate tape measure....a little old but put together for two headed
Tazmanians [inbred] two scales, metric and imperial that's mm's and inches
that gotta be good................

Ill. You are welcome to join in.

I just nipped over to melbourne for a beer.only 2750km when I stopped off at Pt Germainefor a break it was perfect AGAIN.
could you freight it to some kind local who can drop it at the lake.
time to see what the Seabreeze network can achieve perhaps
just remember that a blowie will feel like a wet flannel after your mini, so if you get a buzz from the blowie, imagine what you could have got from the mini
I was looking around and saw the plans for the pacific majic. then i realized i ordered these plans maybe 10 years ago. when i saw they used diamond drilling pipe, i figured i couldnt find it here in the states. So i shelved the plans. well back at full circle. built the mini. any way Big question? What should i build next?
theres plenty of room yet to make your mini an insane racing speed machine . youve barely started

what are the benifits of y frame ? im a big boy and the longer wheelbase apeals to me
I weigh 150 kg. wish i was less but hey,.
Yeah! "BIG" Motor Bike,
I reckon the Pac Mag is the one for you.. You should be able to find someone that sell 6 x 6 Rims and you can scrounge around the local Aircraft workshops for second hand tires. They sail well under light weights but only in light winds. I find Occum's razor sails well under 100Kg Look at footage Sunday Drive. It takes some effort for it to lift a wheel with me on board but I dare say with your weight you should make your Mast according to Landyachts/Paul's Plans to withstand the Shock Loads of heavy wind gusts.
Ron
The adjustable foot pedals are unnecessary, I think I would just go with the P.M. plans, or make something simple... PM me if you decide to go this route, and have questions.
MINOR ERROR.120 K NOT 150. NED TO CHECK MY CALCULATIONS NEXT TIME.
THE ONE IN THE PIC LOOKS GOOD
