. The Breeze was just that a Light Breeze which I thought I may get a little bit of movement out off
. Out came the Razor and I quickly assembled it and settled into the Capsule. Damn! I could sleep very comfortably in that thing. And so the saga of two hrs of strengthening breeze given especially to me for the enjoyment there of. Yes I say to me as it most certainly looked like it wasn't going to happen until I asked for to come. Yeah! So now I hear you saying "The Man is a Nutter" Anyways there was a settling in period where I just pottered about and as the wind got between 10 -12Kts I started to experiment with OR. It seems to me that the wind was better in some parts of the Tarmac than others and I finished tearing down the strip around the Gravel Heaps and doing a few sort of hops and judders until in the end I could get speed enough to go into full Broadsides "With Squealing Rubber". Those aircraft tires certainly handle rough treatment.[}:)][}:)]. On one occasion the Razor "Bolted Clean Away" I know it wasn't standing still, that is for certs. I think about 40 Clicks and it scared the Bejesus out of me so I swung her about and misjudged the turn and finished up Screaming with laughter and half way up a 140Cm Heap of Gravel
No I kid you not I will have to get some sort of Speedo on that thing because I started to run the 150mtr strip at a damned good pace and only having a couple of inches clearance between my Butt and the Bitumen does get a little disconcerting but running up that heap and having the Front End pointing at the sky and my rear wheels trying to climb as well was the funniest thing to experience for a second I thought I was going to launch myself. I am still trying to get Jenni' to come take a few pic's of OR in Full Flight. From my Supine position the Mast Has a lovely sideways Curve to it and the Sail is Full and Smooth and it seems the Harder it is Sheeted Down the Faster the Razor runs. Yep! She lifts her Skirts and Runs Like the Wind and the closer to the wind the faster she wants to run.
Tricked him, Didn't I? Anyway he shots of Occum's Razor's Shakedown.
experiment possibly conclusive
Now L'y you should know better than to ask of an experimenter what he is keeping as a secret weapon.

. I would dearly love to know what the beast was doing but she was still accelerating towards the 8' Chain Mesh security fence, haul the sail in and steering away with squealing tires. This happened a couple of times. What I did really like is when the gusts the Mast bent really nicely then released the pent up power allowing me a warning and time to react to a wheel lifting. The acceleration was another thing that I was astounded by. I could feel the thing lift her skirts and RUN. Suspension? Well I would recommend Carbon Fiber Axles on a "Y" Frame, I am running around 40PSI in the Rear Aircraft tires and 30 - 40 in the front and the ride is by no means rouge. That is absorbed by the CF axles, they also take a bit of the sting out of sudden gusts of wind. It would be really nice if I could Run Occum's Razor the full length of the Airstrip on a windy day It surely is the Nut from Pegg's Beach not to far from Port Latta. my only suggestion is move the black pulley [last in the rope before it gets to your hands] forward perhaps above your ankles rather than your knees, that way you it wont end up pulley to pulley like in one pic.
Other problems alleviated by the usage Brass in the construction of a Brass Monkey was the Balls not rusting themselves together and to the Monkey. So endeth today's lesson
. It didn't feel to much like fun when there was a conflict between Upwind Wheel Lift and Power Slide. and loads of other features. I think the Low Dia' would be tougher then the Glass Home Made (I'm not knocking them) Wheels for my application as they are probably able to take HOONING better, especially on Tarmac and gravel.
