Hello from sunny France

[JETLAG03]

Welcome aboard Phil.

Now that really is from the minimalist school of aeronautics! Even 'Little Nellie' looks like a heavy lifter by comparison.

Thank you Kitwn. Not such a light weight really she has a lot of grunt, 130 horses from a BMWK1200RS.

Some of the parts need attention after years of wear and tear, holes have become slightly oval and some parts simply "may" benefit from different approach to manufacture and mounting.

We are fortunate in France, with an amateur / home build machine (fully registered as such) we have the right to make/modify our machines without the hugely restrictive regulations that stifle innovation in GB, a bucket of worms not worth opening.

I am amazed how quickly I am picking up the very basics of Fusion 360 and after creating a cad file for one part I need, a friend who is a home cnc machinist
checked over the file for me.

This has now whetted my appetite to try and create this and other parts. With the exception of bearing mounts and bolt hole diameters position and size, absolute accuracy is not important. I guess the bolt holes can be cut and then finished with reamers, I am guessing of course.
