Heinkel He162 Build (Plans)

[Bo123]

I am designing a Heinkel He 168, as my old one hit a post at high speed, and was completely destroyed.
Progress in fusion 360 so far.

 

[Bo123]

Saved for plans and Maiden.

It will have a 70mm EDF.

Awesome plane, good luck with the build!

You are not going for 20mm? Wait, that's a different build. Good luck . this look straight forward and like a fun build.

Did you mean THIS?

Heinkel He 162
The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger, the name of a project of the Emergency Fighter Program design competition, was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in World War II. It was designed and built quickly and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritized for other aircraft.

I searched for it too with same result, There was also a "Frog" and "Salamander" version of this plane.

Apparently, I'm the resident historian now. Plz don't take offense if I make historical corrections. I'm not being a contrarian!!

 

[Bo123]

Every time I get the heinkels mixed up, I am so stupid. Yes I did mean the He162.

Either way I knew which plane you meant, it does come up a couple of times as a 168 on Google also. Sweet plane, I'll be keeping an eye out for this

I have never made plans for an RC plane, so if anyone has any tips, that would be greatly appreciated.

So you are looking pretty good so far, think about your top structure ,that has to tie in with this and your wing somehow and you have an esc , receiver and battery that have to fit in there. 70mm motor is going to need a little bit of hardware .You are off to a good start my friend!

 

[Bo123]

I'm not sure about the size of EDF, The last one had a 50mm, and this one has a 70mm. I still need to check the size, but I think its around 1400mm.

What method did you use to get the plans into Inkscape?

 

[Bo123]

Screen shotting, and then setting the size to the right size. If there are better ways please tell me.

[Bo123]

Whoops, I forgot to save the plans, and restarted my computer.

There's an addon for fusion 360 called export for shaper origin that exports faces a SVGs. Once imported to inkscape, you'll need to set the fill to null and the stroke to 1pt. Then open the XML editor and change 'non-scaling-stroke' under the vector properties to 'none'. Look up 'non scaling stroke inkscape' or something similar to get a better in depth explanation. Also make sure that if the part has any holes in it, it will be exported as a group with each hole being an object in it. I'll do a video on the subject soon enough if you're confused.

I don't think that software will work with my laptop, do you have any other ways?
