progress report

I welded the sprocket onto the front hub of a bicycle wheel. It is now my friction drive wheel. I rigged the engine to the frame and it wasn't too hard to alight the sprockets.

I added a hinge, a couple of frame ties one on each side of the wheel and rigged the electrical circuit. It is pretty much ready to go. I have a few tiny things to do then test it a few times. I expect it to fly apart by the way. I won't be shocked at all. it's just a matter of which parts fly off into space.
