In November, Juan and I assemled the Spider reaction wheel. Now, three months later, I realize I haven’t posted the pictures. In the past three months, the motor assembly has had a bearing added at the bottom to prevent binding.
While many of us will travel through the arms of the reaction wheel, so far only Natalie has been brave enough to ride the wheel. (I have been unable to obtain pictures of the event, or the rumoured video.)
