Really nice rendering Andy! You are light years ahead of my meagre cad skills. |

Really nice rendering Andy! You are light years ahead of my meagre cad skills. Thanks, yep happy with how things are coming together, can not take all credit for how the renders have come out, the fusion software is about the best cad/cam i have ever used, and plenty of video's on youtube to help you get the best out of it, autodesk seem to be putting a lot in to it, 3 month up dates, free on line support. Am hoping its going to be a good tool moving forward, being able to produce drawing others can laser cut from and do my own cam work, will help keep costs down. May be even pick up a little paid work from some of the company's ? All The Best Andy |

got prices for laser cut parts today, all very good.... with my own material less than £50, for flame tube parts , parts for ngv and few brackets, not bad me thinks
lots less hassle than cutting all myself

Hi... it was a mile run, which we both knew was going to be hard with limited fuel he has on bored, the afterburner was playing up, but think i have my head around that.... so he did not get any runs on full power for the full mile. It was a very warn day, with a cross wind at an angle across the track. He did try one run pushing hard with the afterburner lit a lot earlier, but ran out of fuel 50 yards from line, and even then he did not leave the line with afterburner lit at full tilt... Not best conditions, i think the plan is to add a second tank, sort the afterburner out and go back and do more He has done 95 mph on quarter... but again the afterburner dropped out as he left the line, he got it to relight quickly but still had lost 10 or 15 yards under full power I think there is more to come....  |

Hi Andy, Great job on that wheel, it doesn't get easy especially when you are teaching yourself, it was hard for me too since no good information on YouTube to copy from. Here is the result of my attempts on getting it look good just for visual. Have not seen the x846 before though, just few information online.  If your need the traditional CAD file, I will be more that willing to share. Love your work, mine on the way.... Cheers Chuks |
