First time I've ever heard anyone praise this cars handling.

Guess it just takes an expert to get the most out of it.

It looked mighty twitchy, guess he likes the challenge.

Lancia Stratos replica: is the Lister Bell STR kitcar better than the real thing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvs5jRi4h80


Narrator compares driving this replica to an old 911, slow into a turn, fast out and don't do anything stupid in the middle. Says the ergonomics and handling are better sorted than the real thing.

Based on this car:

Alfa Romeo 166
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_166
Quote:
In August 2009, Autocar named the 166 as "Britain's Worst Depreciating Used Car", as it held just 14.4% of its original used value after three years.[8]
At least you can get a cheap donor car.

The Differences Between Inline Four & Boxer Four Engines
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgpDTVBeHOw

Quote:
In this video we are going to be comparing inline four cylinder engines with boxer four cylinder engines, and talking about the individual advantages and disadvantages of each engine layout. We have a 3D printed EJ20 Subaru boxer engine, as well as a 22RE Toyota inline-four engine. We’ll start fairly basic and work our way through several different topics for each layout, including the four strokes, the firing interval and order, the vibrations of each layout, the packaging differences, the cylinder head differences, and finally a bit about the sound.

Lots of good short videos in this link, the longer one at around five minutes is the best.

Look for 24 Hours of LeMans..............Ford V's Ferrari all over again 50 years later.

Flying car scale model first test flight using Venturi EDF
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaoOQoekfow

Quote:
Hoversurf is well known for our Hoverbike. We know that propellers scare people and for the last few years we have been working very hard on our patented Venturi EDF technology. We are excited to present our 1:10 scale model of our future flying car that utilizes our Venturi EDF. This technology is safer, more compact, eco friendly and will replace propellers on all our future products. Thank you to all our subscribers and for your comments, we look forward to changing the future together.
Unrelated.

AEO 50mm 8-Blade EDF 5800KV Banggood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJTtbNsJ8EI

Quote:
Video for the review of the mentioned Banggood $25 EDF unit, which is for 3S at 30Amp. Should push out somewhere around 400 grams but have not tested it yet. ESC is 60Amp also from Banggood and a Turnigy 2200mAh 25C Battery. Flight times and EDF power will be posted later once I have time to build the plane.
