Re: Team Shakey Build Diary- Featherweight

Talking of wheels it may already be time to buy a new pair, I must have lost a few mm of ground clearance today. I got the main body of the featherweight finished and the drive wired up. The pneumatic system would work but lacks the safety features needed so that won't be gassed up until that is sorted. It is just at the stage it is presentable for marking. I will get the feather back from marking in a few weeks to get it from marking ready to combat ready.

Some pictures of the feather:

Looks awesome, glad someone has built a Pneumatic 4 bar lifter.

Also liking the flight-case-esque aesthetics.

Darn it, someone beat me to it. But it will be great to see how the lift and thrust of a 4 Bar compares to that of a traditional flipper, will it be an advantage? Biohazard seems to say yes!

I'd hope it does a bit more than lifting what with the 16bar 60mm bore 80mm stroke behind it. :S
