Plans Wanted

[3DMad5]

Hey guys, does anybody have or know of any plans for a foam P-47? It is a model I would like but can't find any
suitable ones from manufacturers.

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

Try http://rcfoamieplans.com/ . There are 500+ plans, so there's probably a P-47

I'll use this thread to post my own plan request, I'd like a scratchbuilt RC Beechcraft Baron someday... Plans anyone?

What size? I can make OK plans....

 

[colorex]

Ummm, I'm thinking a scale looking balsa model... Can you do those? If so ot would be about a meter wingspan...

I want to download a 3d model from the web to slice it up and make cross-sections of it... But I don't have enough time on my hands...

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

OHHH LOL I thought you wanted a foam model Sorry....You might be able to use a 3-view

Yeah I thought so... Foam planes are not that scale-looking...

Found something that migh be useful:

Going to look for the mentioned Zimmermann model...

--------------------------------------------

Meh, I'll just design something like the Multiplex Twinstar...

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

RC-Royal has plans but they're $25--and wingspan is about 2 meters

AirAgeStore has one--$20 and w/s is about 1.2 meters

So far I haven't found any free plans though

That looks amazing! Reminded of that plane flown in Jurassic Park III

 

[colorex]

I have a liking for twin engine planes... They have to look nice though...

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

I have a liking for twin engine planes

They sound awesome

 

[ananas1301]

The truly do but in most cases are a little more expensive. Even though you could practically just use two motors with half the power each. Smaller motors do not tend to be directly proportional to their price and you mostly end up with a higher price. + esc´S!

But they really look awesome.

Here the scene of JRC III

I purposely did not put in the video directly because it might not be something for everyone who likes to see blood but it should be too bad really.

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

Yeah, more expensive, but often not that much, with cheap motors (like blue wonders) that don't require too high amp ESCs, and cheap ESCs.

That plane was a King Air http://www.google.com/search?client...g&biw=1179&bih=761&sei=R_3kTquKFMr7ggf9yvGTBg

 

[ananas1301]

Okay I admit it depends on what brand go for then...

Cool! Finally got the name of it!

It looks awesome!

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

Yep! It's a popular turboprop...the King (of the) Air

 

[colorex]

Yeah the King Air is a bit bigger... I don't like it as much as the Baron... I've been looking a lot, all I've found so far are three views... I'll see what I can do. I'm looking for a 3D model that I can cut sections from. Though FSX has one, I can't find a way to convert it to 3ds or dwg.

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

FSX's got both

 

[colorex]

Can' seem to find free plans...

Ummm, Let's see what you can do! Design a foam Baron G58 and I'll try to build it! Preferably full body and not a profile plane....

I might build it!

 

[Jeffrey Saelee]

I might be able to make something with a fuselage like this bonanza by rctestflight

but nothing like a balsa plane!

And, for other tips, you should watch more of his videos....he has tutorials on soldering, connectors, and many other things.

And, here's a tutorial by him, on how to make a ribbed wing(not on his main channel, so that's why I put it here). I've tried it and it works!
