I am looking for the chassis for an Aristocraft Mikado, If you have one in your parts bin let me know. It can be broken. I am using it to design another chassis.
Thank you,
Nico Corbo
Nico,
Are you looking for an early chassis or the later version?
Do you intend to extend a chassis for a Northern or similar?
Michael
Michael,
I am going to 3d print a new chassis, for an s2 turbine I would like to build. i just need it for a reference. Then i can ship it back to you.
Nico
We can work that out Nico. I have several of the early chassis broke down in boxes now.
PM with ship to address and we’ll work out the specifics.
Michael
Reawakening this thread …
Me too. I am also looking for the chassis for an Aristocraft Mikado. I understand that one from a New Pacific would do as well.
All offers or intelligence will be welcomed.
Thank you
Mike
Nico, You know for what you are doing, you can take an old chassis, reset mounts for rear of motor and alter the area where the motor sits, you don’t need a newer frame for that !
Uhh… that last post from Nico was a year ago! Rex, you gotta cut down on that eggnog!
Greg
Maybe Rex only jumps in every six months or so Greg…
As Rex alluded to, I have fit the new modular motor blocks into the old Pacific chassis on a few occasions. Not to much effort, simply need to provide clearance for the motor out the back end and provide a few stand-offs or something similar for a few mounting screws as I recall.
Michael
Many Thanks to both Rex and Michael. This is for the Mikado where all the mounts got smashed to smithereens in transit earlier this year - and some are clearly beyond repair.
But I do have an old Pacific chassis with the rear mount posts in the wrong position. Have just had another look after reading your encouraging comments about moving the rear mount and I think I will take your advice and go that route, probably with completely new mounts.
Very Many Thanks Indeed to you both
