I'm inexperienced at such design, Alwyn, but a little question popped up in my pea brain: it there some way to adjust the drive chains? Maybe it would be a simple as slotted openings for the gearbox mounting screws (with, say, lock washers). I hope I'm not being simplistic.

Many thanks for the input on that, it's something I've been wracking my brain about. I think I've got a solution by making a sliding plywood platform for each gearbox with slots and screws/washers to allow tensioning and adjustment. All I have to do now is make it

Some progress
Drive train installed



Started on the cladding



Still a huge amount to do. When I get to the side pods I'm going to make interchangeable male/female pods. There's also a baggage/recovery version.

"a baggage/recovery version" Wow! How useful when an airline loses one's luggage! (Sorry, Alwyn, my sense of humor is incorrigible.)

Cladding proceeding well




Still lots to do!

Looking great, love the chain driven sprockets!
