How do you bend the wings in Onshape??? Spent some time with it, and I'm having issues. The bend seems really big at the leading edge, which is causing the 2nd bend to be off alignment:
Here is my bend setup for the one that is circled:
If it helps, here is the LINK to my project.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have only done MS wings in Onshape but I just use a 3D splines and loft from one end to the other and then cut in my ailerons using the split tool....

Just using Adobe Illustrator has worked for me well, except for the wings

Continuing conversation from XF Viper Thread: So @Karthik1130 you can basically do it the same way, but doing it like @Mr Man did for his Radjet: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.p...et-depends-on-what-you-want-to-call-it.78069/

Answering you question here @Karthik1130...The red line indicates 50% score, blue line is crease and green is reference👍

@Houndpup Rc how do they generate the drawings/plans? is it created in fusion360 itself?

Not sure on Fusion because I only use Onshape....But in Onshape you can use the flatten tool, export it as a SVG and import it into Inscape 👍
Mr Man
Mr SPEED!
Yup, Part 4 of my vid’s. (Hopefully coming out today)

it would be really helpful if someone also comes up with good reliable tutorial on how to CAD model Flitetest foldable under-cambered swept-back foamboard wings,apart from Master series foamboard wings considering the bend radius, foamboard thickness where we can't use sweep command as it scales down the airfoil geometry at the wing tips, which is not the real scenario in foldable Flitetest swept-back foamboard wings.
