Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

I have a lego double chairlift right now.
Here is a video of it: http://skireportsbc....esktopChair.wmv
I recomend you use wire for the frame of the chair as it tends to be the best. What are you using for rope?

For a chair, what about something like this?
Either way, looking forward to seeing it, Mike!

Was that your other lift that you were currently making, or is this bi-cable gondi a brand new lift?

A funitel is a detachable-grip bicable ropeway with two parallel and wide spaced haul ropes.
A funifor is a, I guess you could say, a quadcable ropeway, with two parallel, fixed running (load) ropes and two parallel haul ropes, which pass through load equilization sheaves on the top of the cabin.

Very nice, the chairs look a lot like the old Riblet center-poles. What kind of rope did you use and how did you attach the chairs to the rope?
Could you get a few pictures of some of the sheave assemblies? I would like to see those.
