I don't know about the extra-long pythons, but I built mine pretty close to the
instructions on Jurgen's web page (without the rear suspension.) When I removed
about 10cm of length, reducing the wheel base, I found a big difference in the
ease-of-handling. Good luck.

Subject: [python] Long wheelbase and handling
Hi everyone! I'm currently thinking to build a new rear part for my python with
extra long wheelbase to have a big storage compartment and\or an additional
seat for my daughter.
I was inspired by "pythoon" from the project list. Searching the archive for a
final statement if that configuration was ridable in everyday commuting was
futile.
The only hint I found was that the "pythoon" was handling like a truck.
Thus my question, if anyone has any experience with extra long pythons (above
1,5m wheelbase).
My python has 2x26 wheels with Schwalbe Baloon tires (559x60).
Thanks,
Erik
