Thanks for the info Michael,

The first official vython picture ever!

One can see that you put a lot of effort in it and I like
the design. How did you realise the 4bl pivots, headsets?

Hope you can finish it soon and tell us about its performance.
If you have better quality pictures: PM to me. I have just
updated my mods page.

I was being conceived during the summer of 1978, when Craig J.
Cornelius was building his first RSRB, which featured a four-bar
linkage steering mechanism.

Seems like fate!

That is remarkably funny! Would be great to have one of those recumbent veterans in our list. Lots of knowledge and experience.

Michael, your energy saving spring or flywheel idea is shared by
lots of other engineers. I favor the spring, because a flywheel is
heavy and might disturb steering by its gyro force.

I am nuts about building an amphibious python since summer
last year and nothing concrete has happened yet :-)

Cheers from Jürgen.
