Hello Pythoneers, last week I worked myself through last year's list archives. As most of the construction details have already been discussed (steering pivot angle, front/rear suspension, high-speed stability, etc.), I'd still like to know wether a long or short wheelbase should be preferred. Does the wheelbase affect the stability at higher speed (downhill)? Or all summed up: is there a "feature matrix" somewhere, some sort of overview, where all of the effects influencing the python are listed: - pivot angle - suspension - wheelbase - seat position - ... with effect to - steering radius - pedalling, acceleration - ...? In addition, for me as a newbie, does anyone have a "welding howto" in german language? @Ray Schumacher: last year you mentioned "a bunch of pdfs" regarding the construction. I am interested in that bunch. Are these available on your homepage, or can you send me them?
