Pod Racer

Harry Eder
Another great idea! 👍 I´m in!!
You have a lot of emty printer cartridges to use 😉

Ben STONE
Looks great

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Thank you! I'm on the way Guido😉 Harry, bei zwei Tintenspuckies kommt was zusammen😉

Mike Kryza
Always "nonsens" in your head... 🙂🙂🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
FETT !!!! Das wird ne ganz g**le Kiste ! Det kiek ick mir aba an ! 🙂 schöne Rat Rod Optik !

berni
Nice work. I'm in. 🙂 👍

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
The engines are ready for 95%. Dirt/dust comes off if I know exactly what that thing will fly. Think it runs out on the desert. Now follows the pilot and the attachment of the gondola on the engines

Dieter Bihlmaier
Wow! Looks really great Jonns. I like the colors too. This was the time before energy coupling became a standard.

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Correctly! This is the archetype of Podracers. Still very screwdrivers way😉

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
So, a little update! I have not quite made lately so much, made me mainly thinking about the base. The picture frames in the background was me then too big, so I cut me a long piece of plywood together. The cables are only inserted loosely, to test and the elevators are also tuned.

And I still have the drive unit dusted a bissi, is supposed to fly over a desert runway ... (comes in really better over)

Bart Goesaert
pff, very nice progress so far... splendid work...

Choppa Nutta
love it ! 🙂
would sit next to Dieters Racer King nicely

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
thank you mates, Choppa, I can't keep up with Dieter's, but would almost fit! 👍

Fabian D.
hard to belive those were printer cartridges before... simply stunning 👍

Colin Phillips
How cool is that, a great idea

Dieter Bihlmaier
Looks great Jonns, but you should rethink your attachment of the traction cables, because the current location will create a hefty pitch moment. 🙂

Choppa Nutta
good point Dieter, ostensibly one could put the traction cables at the top rear arms that way the lever moment of the weight would be offset thrust induced pitching moment, plus they look like a natural attaching point 🙂

Or CG center works too 🙂

Dieter Bihlmaier
Maybe a modified repulsor will help.😉

Roberto Rocat
Great idea, great work. Bravo!

Choppa Nutta
...... it would have to be a correlated repulsor like pitch and throttle in a heli😉

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Thank you mates for your comments! You're right Dieter, I have already pondered. The wings are movable and the cables get forward a connection to the former car axle. The whole is then anyway a bungee cord😉 Irgendwas muss ich mir dann noch einfallen lassen... Aber erstmal der Pilot und die Base...

Dieter Bihlmaier
I'm curious about it. BTW, is there a BBQ tomorrow at THE STUDIO BAIER?

Kerry COX
As always Jonns. Just fantastic in every way. 🙂 👍

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Thx Kerry! Dieter, dachte am 25. wäre das grillen. Ist glaube ich Samstags. Ja, am 25.!

Dieter Bihlmaier
Stimmt. Ich habe mich verguckt.

Christian Bruer
Impressive work and a cool idea!

Bernhard Schrock
Super! Da würde Sebulba aber staunen!🙂 Wann ist das Rennen?

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Wenn der Pilot endlich mal aus der Bar rauskommt! Die Triebwerke glühen schon... aber das Alderaanische Ale hält ihn noch zurück... 😭

Hanno Kleinecke
Schön verkratzt und mit Juntland- Wüstenstaub bedeckt, enfach großartig !

Dieter Bihlmaier
All Star Wars fans here. May the glue be with you! 🙂

Choppa Nutta

........ May the Forceps Be With you !! 😄

( Forceps, posh word for tweezers😉 )

I also like May The Farce Be With You too😉

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Star Wars?! never heard! I have now redirected the cable. Now it comes forward from the gondola straight out. Hope it looks a bit better 🙂 Now comes the fine-tuning...

Choppa Nutta
haha, funny 🙂
I reckon that's the aircraft certified and approved for flight..........

Dieter Bihlmaier
Mensch Jonns, this looks like Chuck Wojtkiewicz from Blur Studios. Great.

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
hoffe die Kabelanschlüsse sind jetzt besser 🙂

Dieter Bihlmaier
Ich denke, das wird sich nur mit einem Testflug klären lassen. Freiwillge vor!

Mike Kryza
Hey Jonnesy - ich würde bei Dir garantiert nicht mitmachen...😉🙂🙂

Kerry COX
"A brilliant mind" springs into my head every time I see more work by Jonns posted here.
It's never boring, that's for sure.🙂
Stunning !. 🙂 👍.

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Thx Kerry! Some perspective tests with the base. Some colors to add, then finished...

Bernhard Schrock
How was you test flight?🙂 I hope no sandpeople were there?

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Thx! Not any longer the sand people are flat, Bernhard😉

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
I forgot that I had made a couple of pictures last december...

Choppa Nutta
Nice ! 🙂
I really like this dio 🙂
nicely hidden support stands too😉 😄

Ben STONE
So impressive Jonns.
