Announcing the new Rorty R16 Shotgun.

[Bullnerd]

Looks great Mr. Rorty.

Does the new front susp. design reduce legroom ?

Did you lengthen the chassis to compensate?

Very thorough as usual.

[throttle]

Rorty, that's great! *When will you have the same update for the R6?

[matchew]

Nice design...I'll build that one next!

[hero_saku39]

Since it is aimed fairly squarely at the US will the plans be SAE or metric? *

Thanks Bull. Legroom has not suffered. As you surmised, the wheelbase has been extended.

Again, thanks. The Stiletto (the R6 successor) is a little way behind the Shotgun. I concentrated my efforts on the Shotgun as two-seaters have become my biggest seller recently. I'm committed to a fairly major project, but as time permits, I'll complete the Stiletto ASAP. You'll be the first to know. *

SAE? That's pushing my limits! * Don't worry, it's all dual-dimensioned (fractional inch and metric), so people from all states of the US can read it. *

1.5" x .093" wall tubing is lighter AND stronger than 1.25" x .12" wall tubing.

You will journey far, Grasshopper.

Nominal 101.5" wheelbase
Nominal 75" track
Overall length 140"
18" - 22" suspension travel (depending on options)[/quote:lwq0vh4f]

Uh, oh... my trailer might not hold that; I think 120" is the max, except allowing for some between the fridge & oven...how much of it is the bumper in front of the front edge of the tires?

Hey, Rorty, when you turn your Shotgun CAD files into a PDF file, can you put the drawings on landscape? My R82s pdf files have them them portrait, so the top half of every page is empty, and the drawings print 1/2 size. (Maybe you've updated this...? Do you have any R82 updates?)

Can't you just hit the rotate button in Adobe? *Or Print to Portrait? * Maybe I am misunderstanding?
