Fascinating stuff. Designing the spring stabiliser so that the point at which it starts bending the rods varies gives another way of tuning the overal...
Been using the Translate function in my Firefox browser to view the ALC site. When the board flexes into an arc below the plate, the chord distance ...
@spar_snb_snb Presumably you have the 4x4 mount for your Boiler Plate? That is quite tricky to use. Its interaxle distance will be pretty short compar...
