would you mind sharing the CAD model with me? I'm building an RV8 at the moment and would love to illustrate some paint jobs onto the model. This is the only acurate 3D-model i found on the web so far. Thanks!

ah♂yes♂（bushi）

True, and 2 feet isn't too bad. I personally wouldn't go any less then 1.1 meteres for sake of flight stability but who knows, 890 mm might work just fine. @Vincent

@Hedero Well, i've got an 220x220x250mm print surface, and if you do stuff in sections you can print basically any size. The wingspan is 890mm by the way.

That's awesome! I can see how 3d printing would be the future of rc aircraft. But I suppose if you want a larger aircraft for more stability then a larger printer would be required. And not everyone knows how to model in cad. But whats your wingspan on your ta-152? @Vincent

@Hedero Oh yeah, way stronger than it needs to be!

I actually prefer mobile building to pc. And I'm on my iPad, not a phone. @lulupuchi

That's actually incredible, the surface is much smoother then I would've expected, as far as structural integrity goes though, is it decent? @Vincent

@Hedero I have a couple pictures up on reddit if you're interested

@Hedero oh wow u made all that in mobile. I always thought it was tough in mobile lol

You'll 3d print an rc airplane? I didn't think plastic filament would be an efficient rc airplane material. It's not really that strong and I woule think it's relatively heavy, but idk. @Vincent

@Hedero I was thinking i'd 3d print it. Working on a 800mm Ta-152 right now, and it's eating a lot of filament. But yeah, in the future i was thinking of making something simple like this.

You mean in real life? I know Flex Innovations had made one a little while ago, but just recently HorizonHobby released a 1.1 m varient that is absoulety gorgeous. I'm thinking of buying it as it's relatively inexpensive, and I have a small income every week, just need to figure out a place on my wall to put it. I already have the eFlite cherokee, which is easily one of the best rc planes I have ever flown. @Vincent

It's pretty difficult to do on most other aircraft with more complex wings. On this one, it was very easy to do, because the wing doesn't taper in thickness, so all I needed to do was to add fuselage pieces back at the according thickness. But if you look at other aircraft I have made, for example my mig-19, mig-21, etc etc. They utilize a triangle wing airfoil technique that's tricky to master on some aircraft, even for me, at times, I can't make an airfoil that satisfies me to this day. I'm not a great teacher so I'm not entirely sure how to show you, although, if you study one of my airfoils, and make simple airfoil tests, I'm sure you could start to understand it. @poenix

Could be a fun R/C plane to make.

If I may also, what’s your technique for getting a fuselage wing so smooth? I want to set one up for a swept wing to take one of my new builds to the next level.

Thanks! @MonsterAvgeek

I'm on mobile so no mods for me @lulupuchi

😩 this thing is seggsy

Use decals mods for 100% accuracy

But there are gas pumps at conventional airfields? I need to look this up lmao @MrSilverWolf

@Hedero Fixed Base Operator, basically glorified gas station for planes that’s manned, not self serve

Now just to make things clear FBO is an airfield right? @MrSilverWolf

@Hedero the FBO was down in GoodYear AZ, and yeah there isn’t a lot of info on that airplane sadly

Thanks! @MAHADI
