Hi guys - thanks. I can't take credit for the design as it was already modified when I got the frame BUT I like how it alot more than other designs. It is more like a Cub and alot cleaner looking. I put airfoil shaped pieces of wood in the triangle portion of the gear and then covered it because I don't like the look of just tubes coming out to the wheels.

I actually do have some photos of Ron's Setup when I went to Texas convention. The only problem is that they are huge files and would take a bit of time to downsize for easy transmission. I could if you need but I am not sure what it is you havent quite figured out yet. Is it the top brace to the mast? I'll do what I can but this week is short because I am displaying to the public my Studio work and the gyro and trying to get ready in time for the Fri, Sat, Sunday show times. After I survive that (assumed) I will probably have a little more time.

Oh yea, I adjusted the gear to have 4 bungie chords tight on there. It gives, but Ron said don't let it give too much. He actually said you could just let the tires be "soft" and then have the bungies give very little and he thought that would be ideal. If the wheels flex too much they could start steering for /against me. I am keeping them tight so they don't flex unless I were to hit so hard that it would be enough to force the bungies to stretch.
ttys gotta get some sleep jtm
