Ooooooo, tilty

[Alex]

:heart: my tilty wing stantions

 

[Alex]

Well .... atleast I was impressed :laugh:

 

[Randy V]

Aren't they supposed to do that?

You'd REALLY be impressed if it did that around - oh say - 120 MPH.... :shocked:

 

[Alex]

All the current ones tilt, but poor old Alex had to retrofit since this innovation came along well after I received my kit

 

[Alex]

Turns out I was mistaken - the standard setup is stationary, tilty is extra.

So I guess I retrofitted a nifty new concept without messing it up and having to order another 2 or 3 pairs of stantions to try again - awesome, my build skills are improving :laugh:

 

[Randy V]

awesome, my build skills are improving :laugh:

I'm not surprised... You've been working pretty hard between your Factory Five and this car...

 

[Alex]

Don't worry, I still manage to break my fair share of stuff.....building just wouldn't be the same unless there was a heap of broken parts from over-torquing beside the car :laugh:

 

[Alex]

In the continuation of the 'i so totally rule' saga ( ) I got my clip to tilt on struts.

Oooooo, no prop rod for me

(ignore my temporary t-axle cage bracket, as well as the fact I've only got the passenger side setup at the moment)

Believe it or not, I did it and it actually works :shocked:

 

[Randy V]

Nice job Alex.. I still need to do the same on my Forty.

 

[Alex]

Ahhhh, success :idea:

I don't know how some of you guys manage to build, and work, and have families, and have lives. I got the dual struts working yesterday, but then discovered I suck at geometry because it was tilting the clip funny, then they were sitting in 2 different planes, etc... etc... (just a whole boat load of problems, 1 strut was sooo much easier, haha). So yesterday it's 11am to 3am working on the silly second strut, then today it's 3am to 8pm and it all finally works perfectly. :shocked:

OK Mr Tilty, what's next to be conquered? It's amazing how a simple, low tech little side task can take hours and hours and cause multiple approaches to be tried before it's resolved.

 

[Doc Kaler]

Well done Alex!

 

[Jack]

Good job Alex!

 

[Damian]

Great job Alex!!

Next is the .... funnest .... part of any build - doors! Once I've hinged and aligned them, then the hard body stuff should be 110% done!
