Hi all,

this morning I toyed around with my CAD program.
Tried to sketch a DirectDrive python derivated from mine.
The result is disillusioning from my point of view.
The attached picture shows the three major worsenings:

- wheelbase increases 35 cm
- the leverarm of the front frame gets much too long
- steering angle comes close to 90 deg, thus increasing
 the negative trail and decreasing the pendulum effect.

So this would be a true "Langschiff" (longship) python ;-)

Jürgen.
