[monchito]

u need to make one of these......

 

[THAFUZZ]

Wow! Me thinks you'll need either more front end weight or Wheely bars to avoid this....

 

[redbenjoe]

the red part is the tank -
hold about 45 seconds of wide open -- no control run time


if we need to stop it - to save a life or 2 ---before the fuel runs out ........

any guesses to the procedure ???????? .

 

[blu_fuz]

 

[redbenjoe]

WRONG ---
you would never want to get that close to the prop :'-(

 

[Fatdog]

I'm guessing the eye-hooks are there for guide wires?

 

[redbenjoe]

so true

but thems are just for the sissy crowd
have never used them --
-------------------------

so -- how can it be stopped ??

 

[Fatdog]

so -- how can it be stopped ??

I'd say with a big-ass piece of wood that is used as a wall.

 

[redbenjoe]

that might work -
except ....unless the log was 10 feet wide --it could miss it !!!
------------------------

ok --nobody will ever guess this -- its soooooooo redneck
so here is the 4 step program :::

1. locate the dumbest// bravest dude on the block
2. make certain said dude is totally ....

3. equip dude with a gigantic beach towel ( or heavy duty quilt )

4. pray that his timing and accuracy are spot on

--- really !!!

 

[Fatdog]

Please, please, please get someone to film that.

 

[redbenjoe]

ok - will try -

and --wait for the next photos -
" no more mr. nice guy "

i mounted the motor on the official swamp buggie

With the speed this thing will pull you might want to lock the steering
straight and if it could work one of those parachutes from. GI Joe
might work!
Oh and don't forget to put a small GI Joe dude or small army man
I'n there to go for a nice ride!!
But one thing missing,where's the mini radio/Boombox!!

 

[Fatdog]

Jeff has a good idea. Definitely get some kind of action figure on there.

 

[redbenjoe]

how does the timing of the parachute work ?

 

[Ghettoboom767]

how does the timing of the parachute work ?

Maybe a heat fuse to coincide with the end of the thrust.
This could be difficult but maybe doable?
This thing will be so quick it just might not be possible but would
be really cool if it would work,dragsters style!!
Good luck with this Ira!
Great woodworking skills Ira-Love it!

 

[redbenjoe]

ok - thanks jeff --
woodworking is my 'other' hobby --

the bodies of all my cars and carts and bikes are all just cut-offs from
2" X 4' s --like 15 cents worth of wood

cheap stuff is more fun than winning grails off ebay
