I took the freewheel off the hub and screwed on a disk break adapter. I used two bike disks on each wheel to get the thickness for the callipers. It was over kill but worked well

I made it wide just because being a trike it will be unstable, I just thought the wider i could get it the more stable it will be, I don’t think making it thinner will give me any significant advantage. The contact patch is in front of the axle by around 4cm, there is a 15deg tilt on the steering pinion.

Not yet, but if I get it built in time I will enter. I don’t see why I won’t get it built in time for it.

I'm thinking the same thing. Formula Vee cars used to do a pivoting rear setup to remove camber change from the swing axles, but they still had that anti-roll dealt with by the front end. I guess we'll have to wait and see how he's going to cause it to lean into the corners.

All very good points but I think I have an answer for most of them. (At least planned in my head) As this is a delve into the unknown I have a few ideas. My plan for rolling the kart is to use foot pedals, same as an airplane rudder. Push the left pedal and the kart will roll to the right, push right and it will role left. As for the steering I have two ideas, first is to mound the rack to the bar the front wheels are on. It will be mounted higher up and will move so it will always stay central. Or find the centre of rotation and put a simple go-kart style steering so everything moves around the pivot. It’s hard to explain theses ideas in a comment 😂 it basically just a case of build it and see how I can engineer around the problems.

Hi, I don’t have any plans for building this. I just built it as I went along really. There are a few more build photos on my Instagram if that helps

It’s a gravity powered racer and yes I built it myself to compete at the Harewood Gravity games this year. It won best engineered kart at the event. I have a video up of a race lap on my channel but most of the build information is on my Instagram page. The video was just some footage I got during the first few test runs. Only reason the music is there is because it would have been 5 minutes of wind noise so I chose to put some music behind it.

Hi, I have a set of 35” Kumho Venture Mud Tyres on it! Grips like nothing else!

Hi James, I race at Harewood Gravity Games. You can find them easily enough on Facebook. It is based in the north of England. I have just uploaded a full POV lap of the event onto my channel if you want to check it out.

@@Mike_Barnard Thanks, I found them, looks very interesting with some braking and cornering involved. Any other events? I see there's also one up by the Humber Bridge. We're in Essex, so I wouldn't mind going over to Europe if the event was good and make a trip if it.

@@jameseastwood4984 I know there is an event at the Humber bridge but i haven’t been to it. I’m not sure of any races in Europe but would probably make the drive over for a good one. Honestly Harewood is probably the best one I know off. It’s done over a weekend with practice on Saturday and racing on Sunday. I think I got 15 runs on over the entire weekend. More than you’ll do at any other event.

@@Mike_Barnard Wow 15 runs is good, I'd read their literature on the site and it made it sound like not that many. Plus we do love a bit of camping. We've got various parts arriving this week to start building the steering system next week. My daughter is the intended pilot. I do like your quick release wheel btw.

@@jameseastwood4984 included in the ticket is camping and BBQ so perfect weekend really. I have loads of photos of my build on my Instagram as well if your interested. Got loads more detailed photos on it if you want inspiration.

Came with the truck but it’s gone now so can’t look at any branding on it

​@@Mike_Barnardthe trucks gone!?

I agree. I too have a sport (2001 3.5 xs) and I gave 2015 Toyota Tacoma wheels with BFG KO2's and it shreds. I just need to get a diff lock and I'm set.

I've got a few vids of this place on my channel.

They were just AT tyres. I can't remember what brand

@@Mike_Barnard Thought so, I doubt you'd get stuck like that with some decent M/T's

@@DavidVoxDem I kinda of agree with you the 1 problem was he got stuck because he was siting on the difs and a front diff locker with better tires maybe would allow him to climb the small hill

Hi, I used a 3400mah but it would take two for longer flights

shipcases1951 I made it from some old RC helicopter mAin gears

maciek pawłowski I would get an easy 30 minuets flight time and if I was careful on the throttle I could push to about 40 minuets

Владислав Горячев if you watch the video I explain it all. Only two antenna, one for video one for control. The two black cameras are of the video feed back to base station and the GoPro is for HD video recording.

So, course 1 camera, 1 camera recording monitor, 1 camera recording on "carousel", 1 (under the wing) a record of the earth.... My God!!! Why so many? See the black camera on the "carousel" from the video surveillance kit 832 5.8 Hz. And how much all the equipment weigh?

It's nice to see all angles when you finish flying! I don't know how much it all weighs, flew ok but needed a bit more weight in the tail to balance

"Ladies and gentlemen! We are pleased to welcome you to our the airliner of the mega modern the next generation!!! During the flight you can enjoy a swim in the 100 metre infinity pool with sunbathing at a height of 10 miles to play Golf on the field with 40 holes, a bar, a restaurant, to visit a Brazilian festival... And now with all this try to fly up and reach the flight level...The insurance agent and the chaplain is at the end of the plane, where you will be able to deliver the bus. God bless you! In the name of father, son, and Holy spirit, Amen and goodbye."8- )))))

Hello, I built the pan setup my self out of an old servo powered gimbal I had. There are 360 mounts available but if you want a self centring mount that can spin 180 each direction you most likely have to build it your self. There are some out there but they are quite expensive. A quick google of RC 360 GoPro mount should but you in the right direction.

Three years later I stumble on the same video and my comment. I still don’t have a Bixler (yet).

Hello, thanks! I fly with a club on the disused Acaster airfield just south of York.

Hello, I get about 20 to 25 minutes. I try to land with the remaining voltage at about 11.1v
