Accents on names are one of the things that will disappear with
globalisation ---accents are to small for this ascii dominated world.
The same counts for the " on the u in your name, Jürgen.

Oh well, we have unicode and ISO-8859-1, so don´t worry.
I will correct your name on my website.
All the more reason to think about options of using HP to cross the
water.
If I happen to build a CFK python I want to make it amphibious.
Spent a lot of time thinking about this and got some good ideas.
One thing is to get enough buoyancy (Auftrieb). Others are
foldable outriggers and sealed bearings. The drivetrain has to be
sealed up as well (which is anyway a good idea).
Jürgen Maier once had the interesting idea of using a 10x5x2 cm
rubber block instead of the steering pivot. I really want to try this
out soon. It might add some front suspension, save weight,
substitutes the steering stop and is waterproof.
Lots of things to be done,
Cheers from Jürgen.
