Liftoff (FW) build diary

[Liftoff]

Did some testing this evening, and I'm happy with the results. Pressurised the system to 5 bar (need to buy myself a proper compessor for higher pressures ). Was a bit concerned whether the 5/2 way valve would work properly, its miniscule compared to the rest of the system was worrying me! but I confirmed that it does not affect in anyway the flow through the system.
I can now turn my attention to the rest of the build.

A small update, been busy building the track drive these last days and finally most parts for it are ready, what remains to do is the tensioners holder and the tracks themselves. But before I order the tracks I want to get some different material samples to evaluate for best grip.

It was quite a headache to design and build, but it looks like this system will perform better than the old one...hope I can test it soon!
Here are some pictures of the progress so far.... questions and comments are welcome!
