Axle Its early days yet iv been out on it a few times now it seems fine. iv done a few spins and needed to bail. im on the look out for a 16 inch front wheel it needs to be less than 3 inches wide. iv got a 7 foot length of Aluminium scaffold tube left over if any one wants it. http://www.cantbearsedtocook.com/buggy/buggy.JPG http://www.cantbearsedtocook.com/buggy/fizzbug.JPG Iv had loads of advice from people on the forum CHEERS:cool: Quote

comedown Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 You should apply to 'Scrap Heap Challenge' That is so cool, if it really works I'm making one! Andy. PS. Can you bring it to Hinckley on Sunday so we can have a go? Quote
stevefizz Posted February 12, 2003 Author Report Posted February 12, 2003 I dont think i can make it this Sunday Where in Hinckley do you fly? I need plenty of room. Quote
comedown Posted February 13, 2003 Report Posted February 13, 2003 I fly on the Wykin recreation ground, it's on the Northern Perimeter Road, just up from the Truimph factory. It's big enough for most stuff, gets a bit busy at times, watch out for dogs (and the people being dragged round with 'em.) I might have to work anyway, and my wrist is still too messed up to fly. Keep in touch, Cya, Andy. Quote

matt21 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Posted February 13, 2003 thanks for the new pics steve, that answers my question about how to securely attach the front-end. cheers Matt Quote
Chris-Aer Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 The open ended tube looks like a bit of a hazard. If you don't mind the suggestion I would cover it with some foam cause it don't bear thinkin about. Quote
