Leyenade30, Looks good. I think the box blade is too flat. If you were to shorten to toplink to the box blade. It should roll it forward. The boxblade cutting edge shouldn't cut as hard. Then lengthen the toplink to the planner section. That should put more weight on the plan and take some weight of the boxblade. Just thinking out loud. I can see were it will do a great job. just a little fine tuning.
Thanks, actually lengthening the box top link makes it cut less. The front pivot point of the extension is right above the front box's blade leading edge and by rolling the box back puts pressure on the box's rear facing blade resulting in lifting the front blade. Then the rear link has to be shortened to compensate and level that section. I have thought about adding other holes where the extension bolts on to see what works best. Landplanes are usually like automatic leveling or so it seems. Mine is sorta like a stick shift. LOL!
