: Looks like everybody is trying to beat that July 4th deadline!
: Just the other day I found something SO simple that it just _might_ work. Won't know, of course, until further testing is completed....
Go for it Mr. Tim! The only real way to know with all variables included is the physical construction.
Got one "principle piece" done the other day, took 5 1/2 hours for final machining. Another 5 1/2 hours and
I'll have two. Test at that point because the "slop model" had two only.
Sorry, forgot to mention there's more than one "principle piece"!
If it works out ok, got a good friend that's willing to build it also to verify.
Fourth Of July? Got a pound of FF4 and ten feet of cannon fuse. Gonna make two
wheels roll with a slight PUSH!
Good luck to everyone's endeavors, let's get this "Scooby Doo" mystery solved!
Regards
