 Phil, you DO come up with some of the most unique looking rigs! :o

   How bout some spec's on this one. How long on a charge, how far can you go on it and what kind of speed, approx? ;)

Bill,
"Speed trials" still ongoing--No good data yet.
The tilting mechanism is a little tricky.
If you tilt in the middle of a turn, the turn becomes sharper quickly!
I'll keep you posted.

Yes, 4'' and 3 1/2" along with attendant fittings.
Could we please just call it "PVC" and leave it at that?
