Recently I've been messing around with some ways I can make fuselages that can be compatible with FT power pods so I can make as many different creations as I want, just with the two that I have from the FT Cruiser. I used the dimensions of the pod to make a CAD drawing of a holster that I can easily install into any plane that I make around it, and I decided to build a prototype; a closed wing.
I found major inspiration from Star Citizen's Origin 300i (above) and is most likely what I might name the model, even if it's not a complete resemblance.
I've only worked on it for a day and it's already coming along well. Some dimensions were off due to the thicker material we use (our lab is mainly architectural, and doesn't use lighter materials), but I think it will come along well. I already have the main concept down on how it will be swappable: the holster has tabs that the pod can connect to, and Velcro will secure it into place.
Note: First 'draft', I will make multiple prototypes
I plan on making a CAD file for anyone who might want to try it out, but it will take a while for me to zero in on the correct dimensions and electronics.
Let me know about any suggestions, comments or ideas below, I'd love to hear them!
-Note: I am a novice/beginner at scratch builds, I'd really love some ideas, even if not about this particular project!
