Carrying plane and gear to circle
« on: March 18, 2013, 07:33:47 PM »
Much of the time the flying circle is not close to where I can park my car.  I picked up this cart for $20 at a junk store.  The cart is kinda sorta like a walker with wheels.  I added two masonite platforms attached with ty-wraps.  After I unfold the cart, I can load the flite box and airplane and then roll to the circle.  Another major advantage is that I also have a SEAT.   Tried it out yesterday and it worked well.  See photos.  SLEEPY

Four photos came through fine. 

I think that's a great idea, Sleepy.  I have been trying to think of how to package my all-new (since I went electric) ground support equipment, but I have insufficient originality.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Good idea.  I may add training wheels to my old "Whizzer" powered bicycle, and maybe a basket attached to the handle bars?

A small change from "Boeing ol' Howard", but significant. It'll take Howard years to design and build his custom field equipment device from CF. Whoa, sounds like a Prius, almost.

Which reminds me, the tyres on the cone wagon are low and need a toot of air, if anybody goes flying at Scobee in the next few days. If I remember, I'll bring my air tank, hopefully with some pressure installed. Mike's new electron powered Starfinder flies pretty well...wish he'd made the nose an inch longer, or put a heavier 'engine' in it.  y1 Steve
