Hi Matteo,
I have to admit that the details of the steering and frame of your trike are no clear to me, not from the picture or the description.
But I maybe I can still help a bit.
1) 63° is a fine pivot angle for a two wheel python. For the python trike I made good experience with a pivot angle of about 50°. 2) Again the point about the "couple of connection between the 2 frames" is not clear to me. 3) In general, its good for a trike to have a as low a center of gravity as practical possible.

Hi

I'm here asking a question about the pivot angle.
I'm bulting a trike like baccura
http://kb7mxu2.home.mindspring.com/images/baccura.jpg
in that case, with 2 point linking front frame + seat (single block)
TO rear frame,

1. about 63-65° of the pivot near front wheel are still significant to
self centering effect?
2. well.. here it still exist a self centering effect (I mean, with a
couple of connection between the 2 frames?)
3. the seat should be lower than the front wheel axle? Or the point to
self centering effect still remain the pivot angle?


I know.. that questions are beyond pyhon design, but they concern the
world of recumbent anyway!

many thanks

Matteo
