[python] Re: another newcomer

Siwmae Jurgen,


Servus Rhisiart,
This recent comment that you put on the list provokes another question from me: When you say less efficient, do you mean less so aerodynamically, or ergonomically? 

Like Thomas P Jahn wrote, a higher BB brings aerodynamic advantages.

If your seat is reclined (even less air drag) it also brings a better
power output by better ergonomics.
I ask because I see that I shall have to have a full-time, head-out full fairing for my python to be a realistic car-substitute, in our weather. And the shaping of the fairing will be helped considerably if the uppermost sweep of my toes on the pedals is kept relatively low. But does that mean an inherently less efficient action? Anyone else have any specialist knowledge about this? 

First I hope that you plan your full fairing for the trike version and
not for the bike. If the inclination of the seat is more upright the
efficiency will not suffer much (but yourself might suffer from
recumbent butt).
It's relevant to say that the fairing will be tailored as slim as possible, to fit the the bike python, and the alternate trike back end will have its wheels outside the main faring, with mudguard/farings on each back wheel, similar to the Leitra's front wheel fairings. 

Ok - better forget the idea of a fully faired two wheel Python.

Cheers,
Jürgen.
