Next Steps for Spider Crab

Hey guys,

Been a while since i posted on here but Ive made some progress and have a video to show for it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvAtKWBf54

Nothing super exciting yet but hey its a start.

And because I know people will ask... at 2:53 Alex is flying a 2m trainer... it was blowing so hard we were afraid to put up the 6m Access.

Really my next question is whats next? I need to get the thing painted and do some work on it but then its going to be go time again sometime around October. As much as Id like to do something more local to the bay area Id also like to do another trip. Are there any good places to buggy maybe in SoCal in the winter?

Congrats to you for designing and successfully creating a unique spider crab buggy.

I hope you enjoyed the process, and hope you will enjoy riding it.

I enjoyed looking at the early computer generated design video. Wonderful to see it come to life.

Thanks for sharing.
