Bob's Mono Wheel

Iv'e packed a lot of stuff into a little wheel so lets break it down.
This wheel uses a Steam Engine and Boiler to turn a Generator (at top of wheel) that produces Electricity. That current is stored in a large battery (the engine piece at rear of inner wheel).
Using the Throttle, (twist grip on steering wheel) current is sent to the large motor under the seat, turning the spring loaded drive wheels against the outer tire.
Braking is done with an internal drum in the drive wheels. Turning is possible by leaning and a small amount of Gyroscopic force from the wheel.
Guns are fired from the left twist grip. Why have guns, you ask? because Bob likes guns.
Power from the battery is used to light off the fire (trim up) before closing the Firebox Door (Vtol up).

Controls

Trim = Fire.
VTOL = Fire Box Door.
AG1 = Electrical Power.
AG2 = Kickstand.
AG3 = Lights.
Brakes, Guns Throttle and Yaw control the rest.

Features

(FT) = Funky Trees
working Compass, Fuel, and Speedometer gauges (FT).
Fuel indicator light on fuel filler tube (FT).
Steam Engine and Flywheel are controllable, with throttle (FT).

Enjoy and Comments are always Welcomed!
