Lot of tests since 3 week.
This is my last works

3 weeks ago:
"This weekend, I looked at the wing and its supports.
First job: draw a wing that looks good... phew, it fits on the printer bed in one piece.
Second job: resume the design of the wing supports which I don't like ... I will have to redo everything and it will surely be better!
Third job: print all that... hell of a god of %#*@-# of the Wrapping... it all shifted me for the screwing of the blanks of the aileron.
That's what happens :
Fixing the wing supports on the rear frame
Print of the wing which was the subject of a "Wrapping" in order which deformed the aileron (in a uniform and symmetrical way), but which still messed up my fixing of the wing blanks .
Here is the result: it's quite promising
On the other hand, for the past few days when I have been looking at the 1/1 scale car and mine, I tell myself that something is wrong. Since the spoiler is in place, I have found...the rear apron is too far back from the wheel arch.
As a result ; I am in the middle of thinking about a RADICAL cut of the body in order to shorten it and move the rear apron forward and have consistent wheel arches."

2 weeks ago :
"I've seen a lot of things lately about the rear apron, the frame, the wing support arch and its assembly. All this because I revealed butchered the bodywork so that the proportions with the wheels and the rear skirt are more coherent.
Pictures :
Cutting of the bodywork:
Test of another version of the rear apron, then another... in order to review the frame and the rear arch
V2
V3
Then V3.1 which will surely be the final version:
rear mount shortcut, it's better:
Wing test...it's too high
New version of the wing support arch in 3 parts:
It's better :
Re-test of the wing, it's even BETTER!!!

New part and body cutting
FYI, the sort of sign above the air intake on the inside of the bodywork is designed to receive double-sided tape in order to relieve the weight of the lexan and therefore the constraint of the air intake in order to align everything as well as possible.
I'm quite happy, I'll be able to move on to the front part of the sides behind the front wheels.
Otherwise, I made my first impressions in a color other than white.
First tests on the rear apron in its final version and the wing supports with their attachment to the chassis, I also reviewed other parts that were too fragile and/or too big.
That's what happens :
Body lower at the rear by 3 mm, skirt that adjusts right and left and wing support that I'm starting to like
Latest version of wing mounts:
This weekend I will be tackling:
- review the front PC to include an aluminum blade and reduce the front body by 3mm
- tweak the rear arch
- work on the sides behind the front wheels
- sleep

Yesterday
Works on the rear hoop, the rear mount and the front bumper:
The bumper with the space provided to receive an aluminum blade as on the 1/1 car
the rear arch which had to be a bit smaller in terms of height to fit with the rear apron of the bodywork
The rear mount that tends to be flimsy:
printing result... soon
