[cool][#0000ff]Glad you got into some of the piggy rainbows that are coming out of Deer Creek this spring. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I will be making a few tweaks on the tube taxi and then will post a complete pictorial on the tubing board. Here is a pic of the ropes I rigged...including the one that goes up over my head and cinches up around my waist to keep the tube taxi pulled tight against the main tube. When that is snugged up, the taxi is like an elongation of the main tube and I can steer by using my fins...just as if there were no motor. Look Ma...no hands.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I bought an extension for the on and off and steering handle. It worked well...but too well. It was too long and the weight would make the motor turn on when I did not want it on. As Fishkillr advised, I have replaced the high priced handle extension with a piece of lightweight schedule 200 PVC.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Working on a new design now to be able to mount the motor on the main Fat Cat. Got the frame diagramed but not put together yet.[/#0000ff]
