Prototype Homebuilt "transportable " 20" wheel tadpole trike

[voyager]

We now fly " built up " depron RC models not profile foamies haven't been flying for a little while as the trikes have filled our time .
but if the weather holds we have a mustang to test fly see twinkle on RCGroups.com

here is the depron Falcon 42 on finals - note the shadow the model is about 6" off the ground
this has a built up foam wing , tailplane and Fuselage and is powered by a 200 watt brushless motor !

Hi Folks
after a lot of rain and cold damp weather I have actually finish painting the trike

Final specification includes -
20" x 1.75 tyred alloy rimmed wheels all round with Under Seat Steering and centre point geometry .
21 speed index gears from 17" to 90" , and disc brakes all round - 160mm front and 140mm rear
a respectable specification for a home built prototype. weight is about 42lbs ( from memory )

I have sorted most of the little niggles that occur in the rebuilding process and it just needs a few more miles to sort itself out .

I have done a few miles on it and it rides well and looks nice .

regards emma
