Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I know it has taken me forever to get this part of the build to where I like it. When we are finished I will post some pictures. Back to work.
The good part is having Bob Toy as a sounding board and let him do some brain storming on a process or plan of attack. Last edited by Larry Hill; 05-10-2025 at 08:25 AM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The stuff pictured is the parts that we used. There is a bunch of stuff we did not like or did not work.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Wow...so that's what milling is supposed to produce, lol. Excellent work, very professional looking.
Someday I aspire to have stuff come off my mill like that!

Might be a stupid question, but, why do you have sensors on the shocks? Obviously to see where they are, but is it so the computer can tell how quick the front end is rising? Or bouncing? Sometimes I realize I'm not even in the same ballpark as you guys.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
With me getting on in age my body has a difficult time trying to absorb what?s going on in the 1.2x seconds it take to travel 60 feet. A lot of times it will slip the tires about 3 feet out. Just trying to get my physics problem to go a little quicker.
I think I have a solution to the exchange rate. Your car will absolutely fly up North and will slow down approximately 64 percent when you cross the border. That should make dialing easier. Last edited by Larry Hill; 05-15-2025 at 11:51 AM. Reason: Exchange rate performance |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Ah, more data reference points makes it easier to find an issue. Got it, thank you!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
In Holley school Tom emphasized being sensor poor and data rich!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Just about have the rear shock sensors mounted. The rear of the car is more user friendly. Goal for this weekend is to mount two O2 modules. And get to watch my granddaughter play basketball this weekend.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I am 75 and still ordering new tools to make the car better. I am so glad that the desire to do the best job I can with my ability has not faded.
