Bloody H - E - Double Hockey Sticks, how on earth did I miss the control geometry on the head?
I've not rigged my head yet so not looked closely so 'assumed' (ASS out of U and ME) that someone at RAF had done basic geometry. It's just the stock '66 Mustang front suspension geometry turned through 90 degrees! I'm spending a considerable amount of effort and sheckles correcting that negative caster abortion on my car.
Yet another thing to fix when I build my RAF 2000 Mk.LIIV (everyone else on the forum seems to have built Mk.II through Mk.LIV, with Paul having covered several Mks himself).
To think I actually passed my Applied Mathermatics exam as part of my BEng (HONS) in Aero Engineering. How bloody embarassing.
Chuck, Paul, et al, thanks for all the posts on this forum so I can ensure my RAF is never assembled in factory stock form. I'll build it but it's looking more and more an engineering challenge than a mechanical assembly. Thanks to you guys and the decade 3500nm between me and my kit, I've managed to screw my engineering head back on before doing much building.
