[iceberg210]

Very nice I like them how do the grips work.

[highspeedquad]

It appears that the cabins will just hang from the cable with no actual hold, it will just hang there. Once it gets to the station, the cabin would be raised or the rope lowered to detach.

si senor, gravity grip at its most primitive :)

[ski_Lift_modeler]

hsq got the bulk of it.. its a little more complex.. and also there is hold.. the grip has been calculated to hold a certain weight so it will be attached permantly up to 20 mph human winds. with the added weight of people on it it should stay just fine.

also if you havent read the first 2 posts... the new stats of te lift will be 60 feet approx. 15 towers approx.


im still looking for cabin dedicate"e" s.

The project seems to be going well. Keep it up!

[ski_Lift_modeler]

do to some dificulties i am in a redesigning stage.. with the old scale th elift would techinically be too small for a gondola (or a decent one) so i scale dthe model down so it will be more realistic.


cabins and everything will eb the same.. jsut smaller..



good day.



i am starting constuction on the first proto cabin


i can have the pics of it up tonight if anyones intrested..

[highspeedquad]

I would love to see some pics. Is that all you have so far since you're redesigning it?

[ski_Lift_modeler]

ive recently been considering the lift being changed to a funitel.. i did all the designs for it an made a test cabin..


the whole idea will be the same.. it will go on the same place in my yard.. the stations dedicated to nws/skibachelpr and the cabins dedicated to members ..



all who say yes to this please post a yes or a no and if no tell me why not..

i think of makin this because it will be more challinging and more complex.. any thoughts please post


thanks mike!

[highspeedquad]

I think that the funitel might go a bit better with the gravity grip. Would there still be two cables for each grip? I say YES!

[ski_Lift_modeler]

hehe thanks for the support.. so in total there will be 4 track ropes and 2 haul ropes.... haha this should be intresting.. i will post my basic designs (made in paintdue to lack of patience .) in 1/2 hour to 1 hour..


also how do i change the name of my thread to model funitel.. i dont see an edit button??

[highspeedquad]

I think that to edit the topic title you need to ask a moderator or administrator. I'm not sure if the moderators can do it, though. I don't know their priveleges. It would be great to see a funitel designed like this.

[ski_Lift_modeler]

it dosnt follow the idea of a funitel or mabye it does ive never seen a funitel in person just som epics but nothing in detail..


so im almost done with the paint thing

[ski_Lift_modeler]

also let me warn you that you will be very confuzed by the way i have the cabins move when they are off the haul ropes..

[ski_Lift_modeler]

here we go.. if you have any questions please ask i will then respond asap.  funtiel_return_station_.bmp (1.74MB)

[ski_Lift_modeler]

can some moderator or someone please change the title of the thread to model funitel

[highspeedquad]

That looks pretty nice, but of course, I've never seen how a funitel really works, or at least a good idea.

[ski_Lift_modeler]

the thing is hard to see in paint.. just wait till i get the terminal working.. i will take many pics form many ngles to show it and video.
