Re: How could I Improve pt 2
It's not at all bad, I'm quite impressed :)
I'm a firm believer that if you have 10kg free you should do something with it though, that might be something worth thinking about...maybe blades on the sides should you suddenly want to become a not terribly good full body spinner?
Re: How could I Improve pt 2
hey guys although i have to many vapours this will be my 1st feather weight vapour
name: archmage
weight: 13.6kg
speed: 10mph
shape:pillow torque
motors: 2X Astroflight C40 / 15:1 planetary gearboxes / Final drive.. 5mm pitch HTD timming belts 19.2V 3700mAh NiMh Pack
dimensions: height 10cm width 30cm length 47cm
wheels: 4 pillow torque wheels
colour: dark blue with blood red down the middle
armour: 3mm thick titanium
weapons:a ramming blade at the front (like pillow tourque) attached to a flipping arm power by a co2 bottle can flip
up to 75kg
srimech: invertable but the flipping arm can self right it
strenghs: fast, good flipper
weakness: exposed wheels
bio: my 1st feather design which is essentialy pillow torque but all power up to kick robut :mrgreen:
:mrgreen:
all advice welcome

What kind of a flipper? What type of ram? what size bottle? High pressure or low pressure?
Re: How could I Improve pt 2
Leo can probably clarify this or otherwise as I've never dealt with pneumatics in a featherweight, but I don't see you fitting all that in those dimensions. As you've said, it's pretty much Pillow Torque, and those sizes are pretty much Pillow Torque's dimensions, and having seen inside Pillow Torque, I'm certain there's no space for a ram, CO2 supply, possible buffer tank and all associated piping.
You could maybe fit a 4-bar electric lifter in there, especially if you contain all the gearing and electric motor within the space of the arm, like Storm II did. Perhaps powered by an Astroflight motor running through a custom-built gearbox for example.

hopefully this is right for my 1st feather thanks for help jamie and leo :mrgreen:

It looks good, Lian. I'll post it in your section on my forum.

Question: Would it be legal in FanFic to use LiPo batteries in HEavyweights, seeing as there are no hazards to people in FanFic?
