    SaWeeeeet ... I LOVE it. I have 70 feet of an old galvanized beach rail system which was once used for a boat. I want to put a "turn table" on the carriage. I have a "T" hanger for my Avid Magnum. I want to run the rail system from inside the hanger out about 40ft. When arriving back to the hangar ... taxi onto the turntable, rotate 180 deg and then just push the plane into the hangar with the nose facing out. To depart, just push the turn table out to the end of the rails, fire her up and off you go. NO fighting to turn the plane around by hand, it is all grass in front of the hanger so it is difficult try to maneuver. LOVED this video. INSPIRING! THANK YOU for sharing this AWESOME idea. TWO thumbs up from CYQT.

      All in, about $2200. I have seen them commercially sold for around $10,000. The skate wheel conveyors I found on ebay for $800 with shipping, materials (stone, 5/8 plywood, decking, paint, screws, concrete) were another $800 truck hub for center support $100. 3 gear motors $350 Marine 12 volt battery $125. I wired in a transmitter to turn the platform on and off and the gear-rack bent around the circumference of the deck for the motors to drive the platform, make up the rest of the $2200. If i were to do it over,, and I may, I'd use a friction drive, instead of gear-drive motors. I've actually thought of just bolting rubber skateboard wheels to the top of the gears on the motors, and lowering them. Remove the rack gear from the platform and see how that works!

    • @capetide

      Well it's already built, so hard to give a step by step now. But I'll try: I used 'skate wheel conveyors' to build the circle. I measured the wheel base to make sure the conveyors diameter would allow the front and rear wheels to rest on equally on it when parked. I bolted tge conveyor tracks together and leveled them using bricks and stone. I added stone to the inside of tge circle for drainage and to lock the circle in place. Next came tge decking (2 layers) the bottom layer being 3/4 plywood and the upper layer was plastic decking. If I did it over, I'd make both layers plywood (painted on both sides). By tge way, I kept testing for rotation as I went along, making sure it spun freely at every step. Finally:how to spin it? This can be done a number of ways, tge best I think is a motor driving a pinch-wheel on the outside circumference of tge turntable, several of them! Hope this helps.

    You didn't need that many rollers. Now when there's load on it, it flattens the part where it's being rested on and literally all of the rollers have a weird jerkiness to them when you rotate the turntable.

    • @EvySpaghetti
      @EvySpaghetti 3 роки тому

      Doesn’t more rollers distribute the weight more evenly? I estimate roughly 2,000 rollers and a Toyota FJ Cruiser is around 4,300 pounds plus the wood that’s only like 2.25 pounds on each roller. The rollers deforming from that small of a load would be like your skateboards wheels deforming if you left it out over night.

You'll either need x4 individual 90 degree corners, or a long enough flexible one, to make a complete circle. It's around $600 per corner brand new at uline dot com, or you can find it on ebay or at a commercial liquidation/industrial supply type store for a little less.
