THE BODY

The body is a bit of a lash up as it grew from bits lying around the workshop and was built in a couple of weeks for the 2008 event and then modified for the 2010 frame….. The two tails are to comply with two different categories and I have run both….both are a handful in 20mph crosswinds.

 

Composite sheet construction was quick and easy. 

The upper fairing started life many years ago on one of  Jack Ahern’s bikes. 

Almost finished.... 

Wood stringers were used for forming the tail. 

 2010 Small tail.

2010 Big tail.

Keep those knees in!
