I wonder... maybe a light (very light) oil in a smokeless cigarette (vaporizer)??Does anyone know how i could put a smoke system in this plane?

I'm just throwing this out there as I really don't have an idea how they work other than heating up a solution... Have to buy one and crack it open to find out maybe... I have started seeing replacement coils for these online now if you just wanted to kit-bash something...

Hummm.... Looks like I've just added another project for the coming cold months!That is basically what this unit from MrRCSound does.
Nate, thanks for this tip! My Bride really gets after me when I print out plane plans and the scraps end up in the recycle bin!When you do a poster print out of adobe reader. Although i just realized that i turn off all the options so it makes it less paper, thats how im getting a 2 row by 4 column print.

Good to know! Then how do you transfer the 3d model to the 2d plans that we have now? I've been messing with Fusion 360 for a while now but could never see how I could design a DTFB plane with it.This was actually one of the solutions I had considered a while ago, and it may well be quite workable, but the main problem is weight. They are heavy, and use rather large batteries for what they do. I still think there is merit to the idea, I just mean it's not a slam-dunk.
As for the program I use, it's called MOI3D. If you're looking to get into design, I would recommend checking out Fusion360. It's free to try, and free to use for students and hobbyists.
Thanks for the info! I'll be looking to see if there's a way to "unfold" in Fusion 360 whether if it's a plug in or a hidden feature of some sort. Awesome job on all your designs by the way, all of them look fantastic! 👍I honestly don't know the process in Fusion360. I've just heard good things about it, and it's free.
Regardless, you have to 'unfold' the model and flatten it into curves, draw the fold/crease lines you want, then export to a PDF or DXF.

Not a skin, all rattle can (spray paint) but the tail graphics (which are just printed on paper and modgepodged on.)How did you make a skin like that?
While waiting for better weather to maiden this bird, thought I'd put a few strokes of paint on this bad boy .... hope it maidens well.

That is paint?? Pretty spectacular!
Thanks. I usually like to maiden a plane before I spend a lot of time painting it .... this is what happens when I get a week plus of crappy weather between.That is paint?? Pretty spectacular!
