Hi Dirk,
I did come across Jürgens mention just this morning :-) ie Monday, April 18,
2011 3:38 AM "virtual steering pivot idea again".
I have also recently read how not only does gyroscopic effects, but also trail
effects appear to have no bearing upon self-righting ability. If that is so,
then researching the effects of trail using 4-bar linkages may likely go
nowhere.
The list archive at //www.freelists.org/archive/python/ is searchable,
however, attachments do not appear to be saved with text eg
//www.freelists.org/post/python/4-bar-linkage contains a link for:
//www.freelists.org/archives/python/09-2004/gif3UvrApaVNd.gif
Is there a way to retrieve the attachments?
Regards,
Brendan

Hi,
if you dig through this list, you'll find some four bar linkage footage as
well. Jürgen posted links to pictures some time ago.
greetings,

positive trail is to use a 4-bar link for steering, creating a virtual positive
trail. I created many drawings some years ago to figure out a working model.
Will dig around to see if I can find them.
