Master Series Bf-109 Build

[Whit Armstrong]

umm I just googled it and those links came up first it took about 5 seconds..... but your very welcome to that excessive amount of time I spent trying to find that link for you

Sorry.. I didn't know it was that popular.. For my He-115 build, I had to go into the deepest corners of the internet to find one in reasonable quality.

I'm finalizing the plans in Inkscape, and once I'm done, I'll just have to build it to make sure everything is fitting correctly.

Nice I would turn off the grid it just gets in the way

sorry I had it on for doing the plans and forgot to turn it off.

It's ok I just meant that I don't use it when I make my plans

It's helpful to have it set to have lines every millimeter (when you zoom out, you can't see them) and major lines every 5 millimeters. IT really helps when designing foldivers and such.

Oh Cool it always hurts my eyes when I use it

It think you can turn down the opacity.

Ok

I just printed one of the skins out and wrapped it around the existing plane, and it fit like a glove! The skin is absolutely perfect, and the best thing is it takes only ~10 minutes to make each one! I'm definitely using cad from now on. It's great not having to fit the skins.. trim them.. scan them.. and trace them in Inkscape.

I'm almost done finishing the plans in Inkscape, I hust need to do a couple of tweaks to make it easier to build.

Awesome!! I can't wait for that tutorial.

Thanks! I still have a lot to do though, but over holiday break, I'll have a lot more time for everything.

I finished the plans! I'm not good at Inkscape, so they're not too good, but if you've built any FliteTest planes before, it won't be bad at all. I really can't make patterns well in Inkscape, so the cutouts and bevels are all just shades (red for hollow out, green for bevel) I haven't tested the plane yet, but if you're eager, I'm sure it will work, it's pretty similar to the other master series planes. I still have to build the final version to make sure everything is correct, but for now, I think it'll work pretty well.

**Dome parts are wrong, these are not the finished plans!**

**Edit: corrected weird scaling issues**

I can finalize them if you want!

That was quick, really quick! Is there also a canopy design too? And make sure to post pics when you're done if you build it.

There's an extension called Eggbot for making patterns (hatching and cross-hatching, at least...)

Your welcome.

Your welcome.

haha yes

When I build the final prototype, I'll fix all of the issues I find as well as make a paper canopy. I will then trace it onto posterboard and import the design into inkscape.
