told u at RIAT Ewan its cool, wish u the bets mate in the uk champs, your robot jus proves theres so much u can do in 12kg, thats not a criticism on the other feathers im increasingly impressed by feathers, jus ewans new vertigo is very impresive

There is alot more that can be done in 12kg than there is at the moment, but it can get costly! I like to see robots like ewans that can be made without spending a fortune!
(hopefully soon enough there will be another 3 or 4 feathers of different styles comming into combat-watch this space!)

I was going to say thats a robot I want to avoid, but then I am bound to be drawn against it. Doh! said it anyway.

Looks really good Tony, cant wait to see it in action, (go easy on me).

Looking greeaat Tony, wanted to build somthing like that myself for a while but never got hold of one of the hardox disks. Id actually not like to be up against it.

PAIN IN THE ASP

Inevitable 6 wheel drive with a high speed electric lifter.
Featherweight version of the US heavyweight Sewer Snake that came over for the UK Champs.
Thanks to Matt & Wendy Maxham for their permission to copy the design.

Im still putting drawings on paper at the moment, but drive will be Astroflight 40 / Whyachi TWA40 gear boxes, control.. pair of victor 885s and lifter may well be powered by another Astroflight mated to some kind of multistage very high ratio gearbox. Then build all of that in 13.6Kg.... Now thats the hard bit!
Its already signed up for San Francisco next June so I gotta get a move on!

i guess your sure the weight limit is going to rise then?

Sounds good, but wont the astro get quite warm in a lifter?

Featherweight weight increase..Er..No..Well Maybe...depends... some delicate negotiations are underway.... Watch this space!! :wink:

This is a special for the US Being built to RFL specs. although I think I could just about squeeze it into 12KG if I had to!!

Dont worry John, knowing Mario you will have plenty weight left to beef up Beaty, even at 12 kgs.
