When I was discussing the Alphabet Project with Jon Palmer a few months back,
this is what popped into my mind for an O-Wing.
Anyway, this took about 6-7 hours to build on Saturday. The ring required a
few revisions in order to increase strength and stiffness, and the
spring-loaded mount for the cockpit also took a while to work out. I think it
turned out pretty good though...close to what I imagined, and it works fairly
well too.
A couple wallpapers are available here:

| (...) That's really nice! The rotating cocpit is really intersting. I know I'm going to be designing an O-wing ship soon. Question: how does the pilot get out? Does the ship land on its ring? John Kruer (23 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.space)

| I thought this was elegant and cool when I saw it. When I saw that the center rotated around on wheels and shocks I thought it was really cool. Then I noticed it even spun flat for landings. Really really cool. :-) Well done. -Jon -- | The Shipyard (...) (22 years ago, 30-May-02, to lugnet.space)
