Jim, Thanks for the updates, even the setbacks you have suffered. We are all here to learn from each other. You proved that the concept works and I am sure we will see the improved v1.2 in the near future.

I hurriedly left a small gap on both sides of my belly pan ahead of the rear tires and it filled with snow and ice that I had to dig out by midwinter. We do have to build for real world conditions.
