Hey Cooky
Fabulous work -- but I have a question
My steering system has handlebars so I might be talking out my ass
The tie rods? connected to the steering rack seem to be at a big angle and looks like the ends of the rack might bend.
Does this angle give better steering geometry?
cheers Bones

Re: D/FL Racer - Ready for 2015 ???
The photo tends to distort the actual angle of the steering tie rods and the front end isn't at the running ride height. No way I can see the rack ever bending.
Hopefully the front suspension arms will be ready to pick up from the laser cutters this coming week and I can then put the project on 4 wheels and it becomes a CAR
Working on the nose cone mock up this weekend.

Re: D/FL Racer - Ready for 2015 ???
Cookey, this is impressive, you have skills. Is the nose cone the spinner off an A36 bonanza?
Re: D/FL Racer - Ready for 2015 ???
Not really sure what aircraft the spinner is from as I have been working on getting this Meteor V12 ready to run for the Greenock Aviation Museum and it was up in the storage loft so I borrowed it for a trial and it looks perfect.
