Making a buggy?

mozza - 3-10-2006 at 07:49 AM

I have been looking at buggy plans, but i cant find any that are simple enough. Does anyone have some that i dont have to translate that are like plans to build a model aircraft (if you have seen them). And I would like to know how much it would cost and where I could find the parts (e.g shops ect.) I have a beamer 7m and on the windless days I would like something to do (thats why I want to buildy one not buy one) so if anyone has any simple plans post the links please.

Thanks

if you are making it from steel, and go to your local fabrication shops and ask for some offcuts, no more than about £50, that leaves £50 for some wheels and a second hand seat

I cant find where I would get a seat or wheels, and they are all £25+, same with the seat but I dont know the price of that. Where do you get yours from?

go on the flexifoil forum and put an ad in the wanted section for secondhand wheels and seat
