hey all i've got my other feather build diary thread but thought i'd make another one in the heavy section for the heavy im gonna do.
been planning and buying parts for a heavy for a few months now, and it was going to be a front hinged flipper but then changed my mind and will be a bigger version to one of my feathers- pic below

after work today i layed out the parts i had, onto some box, the design and how im going to do everything is really in my head thou
this is only a rough lay out but will be similar as im still waiting for the hawkers, co2 bottle, and an old bottle as a buffer --coff-- dave. as i decided everything else like the speedo etc arn't exactly massive so ill get them in the robot somewhere with no problems.
in the pic below is how the basic layout will b, that massive cylinder will be cut down to about half size eventually, and it will be mounted aiming backwards like in M2

and heres close up of the drive, the plan is those upright bits of 25mm box would be a bit further away from the motor- but in this case magnets attract loose bits of steel lol, allowing a 10mm ali bracket to recess into the steel upright sections bolted to 15mm box with that being welded to the chassis to hold the motor and the end of the axle which is there. so thats 10mm ali and 15mm box = 25mm so bracket will sit flush with the frame-- am going to use gears with about 8:1 i think it is, - recommended by that mouldy guy which is what he did in his old heavy-
reading that it doesn't make much sence but will hopefully b more clear when i get round to getting it done and i've put some pics on here

im not wanting to rush it, but i'd idealy like a drivable base of the chassis to test at leicester in feb so will see
dims are about 700mm wide and will be around 800mm long not sure about height about 400mm at most
