wow, that's one bare shell. it looks like it's in etch primer, what color you painting it?

*smacks forehead* thrust is applied by the engines to AIR!!! the wheels provide nothing more than a low-friction axle for the times when the plane is on the ground and airspeed over the wing is low enough that lift isn't generated to fight gravity the plane moves itself through the AIR by use of the prop/engines, the wheels can spin as fast as they like, the ground speed is irrelevant once the engines are activated. the air is not acting against the forward motion of the aircraft, hence forward motion is achieved and the plane can take off i concede defeat

then you obviously didn't read the initial hypothesis for there to be enough airspeed for lift, or even for the plane to change its position, there needs to be a speed differential between the conveyor and the wheels, which will never happen. how the wheels start spinning is irrelevant, how the plane motivates itself is irrelevant, the fact that it is stuck on one particular latitude and longtitude negates the fact that there is ever going to be air moving over the wings to generate lift and allow flight to take place how much more simple does it get?

lol, overkill

i am so tempted to lock this thread, it's totally stupid

that ke20 looks sweet

the bearings all just slip into place, it's easy

hardtop geoff :)

in warwick's original hypothesis, it was stated that the treadmill/conveyor matches the speed of the wheels of the car/plane. so in this instance, the faster you move your arm to push the car, or the more thrust you apply to the plane, the faster the treadmill/conveyor moves, and the vehicle remains stationary read the first post again, engineering feasabilites are assumed possible, so what drives the treadmill/conveyor and allows it to match speed is irrelevant

technically yes, but it was the best they had in our size AC01s are 14" and above, A539s are still available in 13" and lower (rover/leyland mini sizes, etc)

are they aftermarket or genuine? aftermarket panels never fit right. you can MAKE them fit, but it's a pain. i'd try and find a set of clean genuine guards

i have no idea where any of those places are except byron bay, which is like half an hour from my house, so i'd be in for that :)

nothing sus :)

no. stationary plane generates no lift. end of discussion.

you can get bolt-on wheel spacers engineered

we have liftoff :)

it's very easy, you use an ae71 crossmember and read one of the many rwd conversion documents available on the internet, such as the one on this site, or on toymods, etc this has been covered 10 million times before, so please have a look around before asking questions. we have no problem helping you with your questions, as long as you are willing to help yourself as well

what the hell are you guys talking about? either way, your flight has been delayed, please keep your seatbelts on and observe the non-smoking signs at all times :)

a non-moving wing does not generate lift. scientific fact.

forget the wheels and the conveyor belt. take them away, and bolt the plane directly to the ground, with something so strong it will never break now turn the engines on. is there lift? no

bets on how long until she does it again :D

of course the plane can't f@$king fly, wheels are irrelevant to flight, the thing that makes lift is air moving at two differing speeds over a wing surface if the plane isn't moving, there is no movement of air over the wing, there is no lift, there is no flight i can't believe you guys went on for 3 pages about this

ae95 4wd overseas, there was also 4wd in the ae101/112 shape

hahaha couldn't have gone to a better person :D roll on the big 100!
