SuperSports Chassis Model 3a

This is another proof-of-concept I've made to further improve the feasability of Pushrod suspension in SimplePlanes. I've gone with 2 different Geometry layouts for the front and back, the latter being much more painful to make. I've also attempted to incorporate Asymmetrical Wishbones for the suspension. For those who wish to take advantage of this type of suspension for their own creations, I'd reccommend that you take a closer look at the connections for the shocks themselves, as their placement is highly important to the performance of the system. The chassis itself was inspired a bit by the Miura, with its rear-transverse engine placement. I do plan on making a more detailed creation with this in the future, so the asthetic details on this model are a bit bland.

    About 5 minutes after I posted this, I realized it was broken. If you want to download this, I recommend you instead use the 4a variant, which I have posted on my account.
