Re: RD500 Naked project
I welded several different pipes for RD350s an even RD500 with some 30 parts for a pair and also a 2-1 with lots of segments.
The first was done like yours with a cardboard test pipe. Doing the layout and cutting the segment takes ages!
Even after having the final layout as dxf's it took some 20 h to roll and weld the lasered parts.
The task to do >30 segment pipes and eventually 4 of them is something I'd only consider after my retirement. Hats off for that patience and craftsmanship.
