Ok All,


Need to tell you some thing.
I have put the trikes up for now. I am going to get into all of my stuff and
move some along out of my way. I made an agreement with my wife. We are looking
for some land that we can afford – getting this place ready to get rid of – and
hoping to accomplish this by next year.
Also. . . she let me get another something that I had to get rid of a long time
ago.

I am now a proud owner of a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia.
I had to get rid of my other 69 Ghia shortly after we got married. To me it is
the next best thing to a 356 Speedster.

So now I have my Ghia back. She also made me agree to keep working on my trikes.
I got a storage unit and have started to move everything into it. It will give
me some time to go through my stuff and start getting rid of what I can….

So now you know where I have been and what is going on. I am not giving up on
the trikes…NOT AT ALL…I am just putting life in front of the trikes.

Here's another way to look at 3-wheeler construction. Check it out if you get

I like the idea of the porous aluminum to lighten the vehicle yet still lending
strength in a collision.

This might be twice the fun with only one wheel in the back.

The trike has traditional automotive steering geometry, it will want to lean to
the outside of a turn. I have designed an anti-roll bar into the suspension to
help keep the body lean to a minimum.

Thanks for the question.

Question ...

Will you have steering geometry that cants the body in the direction of turn ? 
Or, will your trike lean away from corners ???

The engine is behind the driver. The scoops on the side will direct air to the
radiator.

Thanks for commenting!

Do what trips your trigger.  I've had the debate with others on in-line seating,
or side by side seating.  In line better for aerodynamics, side by side better
for sharing the ride.

where is the engine ?

cooling air appears to enter at the nose of your craft, but, profile suggests
engine is behind pilot.

need to reduce nose vents and add scoops both sides behind driver.

SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Rhino, Alibre, Autocad, and just about anything else
will allow you to save or export as a .dxf file.

Even though they may have a different file types for the 3d model in each
software, once you flatten it to a line drawing they will allow you to save or

There needs to be a set of parameters and then fit the software to it..being
flexable of course.

Being able to save in a DXF file is a good idea. Then start building the
library.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the info.

James mentioned that Alibre was only $99 now which is a decent price I believe.

Alibre
1. Seems to be an underdog in the CAD industry
    a. Likely to make a deal for more exposure
2. Doesn't seem as refined as Rhino, Autodesk Inventor or Solidworks
3. Seem to be as expensive as Rhino, AutoDesk Inventor are normally ($999)
4. Final renderings may not be as finished as its peer applications.

But at $99 there is a low barrier to entry for casual CAD users and it can share
files with Solidworks/Inventor/Rhino.

This is a tough decision.

Might I suggest that we limit ourselves to those programs which can be
saved to a ".dxf" file, since most of the more common programs can open
that?

Hi Stan,

Thanks for the link. I downloaded and installed it but it looks like you need to
know python to use it and the info says that its not really ready to use yet.
Its more difficult than I thought to find an open source CAD program.

Good luck with Pro-E.

--- What do you think of CadStd I think it is free with a minimal pay to up
grade not sure what venfits are to the paid version.  When I looked at it I
think it has only 2D capabilities

For what it's worth, Alibre has their standard package on sale right now for $99

All,

I am an industrial designer and have been using 3D CAD for decades. I write
reviews in industry magazines on the stuff. I thought I'd throw a few ideas out
there for good programs to use.

Rhino is a great 3D program. Yes, you can get into it for free but it has the
limitations Todd described. Alibre has a free program that stays free. They are
very good. SketchUp is great for concept work (but it's really aimed more at
architectural design). You can do a lot with it - and many do - but to get the
most out of your models you'll want to upgrade to the pay version. CoCreate has
a free product that is good. There are other freebies out there but here are
four really good choices. Of the four, Sketchup is the easiest to learn and use.

There are others that aren't free but are fairly low cost. TrueSpace by Caligari
is under $200 and it has some really interesting capabilities. Prices generally
go up from there. What program you'll want to get will depend on what you want
to do with your resulting models, your budget and how much time you have to
learn it.

If you only want pretty pictures go with the free or cheap artsy programs you
find on the internet. If you want to create engineering models go with one of
the examples above.

I hope that helps. If you have questions I am always open.

download and view anything but you can not make changes after the first 25

most everyone and you can use it to viwe almost any other format.

Chad,
I ran across
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page>
recently. I don't know if it's easy but it seems to have the bells and whistles
for the right price. My personal short term goal is to re-learn Pro-E after 12
years of retirement. Wish me luck.

Hey Chad,

I love the idea (this is what I wanted to do)but I have never gone farther than
this group. If you want a good 3D/cad source you can go with Rhino, you can get
it for free and do 25 saves before you can not save any more. You can still
download and view anything but you can not make changes after the first 25
saves. Any file you put on the net can be down loaded and viewed with Rhino and
they can change a few things here and there. It is enough with the 25 saves for
most everyone and you can use it to viwe almost any other format.

You can also go with Sketchup but I have read in forums that it is limited with
its renders as well as contours.


Let me know what I can do to help, would be gald to.

After much deliberation I think I will do a "donate" link. I have not wanted to
and I have avoided it for a few years now but…I put up a "donate" link in the
"links" area. I did not want to put it on the main page and have it look like I
am begging for money, so if you want you will have to go to the link this way it
will not be an "in your face donate button" as soon as you get to the homepage.
If you have Paypal you can click it and it will take you to a Paypal secure
webpage.

I have not wanted to do this but I have had a few emails from people advising me
to go ahead with it. I don't want it to look like I am asking for or even
begging for money, if you don't want to …don't. It is no big deal. So far
everyone I have talked to about it said that there will be some that want to
help…let them, it will only advance the build and get you on the road faster.
Plus, part of their argument for the "donate" link is that I have been posting
all the info up with no charge so I should not feel guilty about it.
So…I did it.
If you want to donate then do it, I thank you and of course I will continue to
post everything I do. Don't feel compelled to do so this is only if you want.

I hope no one out there in cyber world thinks any less of me.

Thanks,
Seeya!
Todd

I keep getting errors when I try to send videos in an email or posting to the
file section...I will keep trying.

Rick,


I added some photos in the photo section.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lo-T3k/photos/album/881448590/pic/list

I have a few videos, but the are to big to get in the file section. I can try to
email one to you. I has been sitting now without beiong started for about 2
months so I will need to get it charged up. I dont want to sell it but I need
to.

I am going to get rid of my GL1200 motor as well. It has the starter on it as
well as 2 sets of carbs. It ran 2 years ago before it was pulled. It has been
sitting ever since.

Let me know if you need any more pics. I took some of the damage area, the
ripped seat and other shots. I have a video of the leds on it lite up in the
dark...cool.



Seeya!
Todd
