FTFC’25 MS Design | BF-108 designed by Flying Cherokee

[Flying Cherokee]

I decided to do a second design, it is the BF-108. A very interesting wwii german plane, It will be more of a beginner MS style design, ie. less skins and formers.

I see you are using Onshape, doing you know how to fix it if it is not wanting to loft right like trying to take weird paths?

yeah, I have tried using as little loft points as possible, sometimes it just won't cooperate.

here I will just mirror the other side, it just wouldn't work.... maybe @Mr Man knows how to fix it

Sr-71 is partially bad with that because of all the carves!

Hmm, I've never had that happen when I do one side and mirror it.

Might watch some YT videos on lofting.

I won't be building this for a bit, so if you decide to build it be sure to let me know if there is anything that needs changed

Which program or Onshape feature do you use to turn the skins into flattened shapes?

Which program or Onshape feature do you use to turn the skins into flattened shapes?

In the bottom right hand corner there are the “analysis tools” (it’s a protractor looking shape). In there is a function called flatten surfaces.
