Hello Dirk,

> >> I know you have all been waiting for this ;-P

Yes. I hoped for a long time that someone does this
job. I just tried it with AutoCad and therefore the
numbers are not that exact as yours. Thanks for the
good work!
I thought of 60 degrees steering angle resulting in 
the max seat rising, but 55 degrees seems to be more
exact.
The question, if the seat rising is the main reason
for the rideability of the python, is still not
answered.
The non-self-centering ability of the flevo is the
reason, why it is only rideable with a rubber bung
(steering damper) that brings the FW back to the
center, after steering.
Imagine, lifting 75 kg some mm. This is quite a force,
I think.

As far as I know nobody tried this. There is enough room for
more experiments ...

Regards from Jürgen.
