Wow, great use of the cnc and tool paths, especially when machining all of your features in the fuselage using the mold as a fixture!

@tommcallister5835 Ай бұрын

Your cad/cam and model building skills are very impressive. Sorry your efforts didn’t quite work out like you had hoped.

That's amazing ^^ I enjoyed it. I'm rooting for you to have a beautiful flight.

Great detail of an impressive build process. Could easily be a series of short videos highlighting particular steps of the process. Amazing craftsmanship. Most great designs are interactions, rarely is the first interaction have many perfect design features. Any interaction is just an example of the current lessons applied in an ongoing learning process.

would it be possible to get in touch re you cnc's, I am looking to build another and have a few questions after seeing your's , they are very nice

@ChristianBaron-ex7ky Ай бұрын

Excellent work and perfect documented! Thank you very much for sharing! To cut the laminated Fuse I have seen a bit expander inserted in the spindle. Can you give me a link where to buy it? For milling fuselage moulds the most bits are not long enough and I could not find a expander for 1/4" bits.

@NWA320DRVR 29 күн бұрын

Wow! That is the best CNC and construction technique I’ve seen. The cutter used on the molded fuselage and other surfaces is tiny. Hopefully you can work out the difficulties in performance with more analysis and time.

IMHO - While this is a FANTASTIC build and KUDOs to the builder, fliers like myself who rather spend our time flying, an ARF and/or PNP F3A/Pattern plane will do. There are a few ARF F3A/Pattern planes out there and since there are a few distributors who are now selling PNP BALSA AEROBATIC planes, the few F3A/Pattern plane distributors MUST follow them and offer PNP BALSA F3A/Pattern planes to us fliers. The distributors who are selling the AEROBATIC PNP BALSA planes - which BTW you can do the F3A/Pattern maneuvers - sell out of these planes VERY FAST and are OUT OF STOCK most of the time until they get another shipment from China - that tells anyone how popular the PNP BALSA AEROBATIC planes are and those type of planes are creating an interest in the RC plane hobby just like the ARF did YEARS ago!!! - IMHO

I'm impressed by your skill on CNC jobs! Can you share more of the finishing technic? I saw you seem to apply some epoxy resin bebore finishing pass, isn't it? And is the last coat automotive paint, or tool gelcoat?

Awesome clean build 🔥. Could you share the foam core thickness you’re using? Also, I’m curious about how you align your model for control surface hinges and hatch cutting on the CNC. Your work is truly impressive, and I’d love to see more !.

@nulas87 Ай бұрын

Thanks! Normally I use 1,5mm Airex core, but this fuselage I used 2mm. Its super stiff, but heavy. I think 1,5mm is best choice for F3A. Moulds have aligment pin holes, by using those its very simple to align it. I have milled matching holes to cnc table. CNC have homing switches, so it can calibrate it self and always know where my molds/jigs are located

@@nulas87 I have one more question about the wing lay-up. Are you using any layer on top of the foam core for sandwiching, or are there just two layers?

@nulas87 25 күн бұрын

There is 50g glassfibre on both side of the Airex core

@@nulas87 Thank you for the clarification and quick reply. By the initial look I thought it was only the foam.

When starting the video, I noticed the wing placement seems to be too much forward... just wanted to know, it is designed to stall bottom wing first or is it the top wing?

@DanFrederiksen 28 күн бұрын

Very nice manufacture. Why a biplane though, isn't that both a worse performer and harder to make

@ccedraro3878 23 күн бұрын

Outstanding work, why don't you convert it into a 3D file so that it can be printed in 3D so you can get people to fly F3A those who can't afford the costs of an F3A, just a idea , best regards.

Wau! Nuista työkaluista vois olla jo vähän kateellinen. Osaat myös selvästi käyttää niitä 😅 Upeeta jälkee kyllä. Huomaa että tuo on huolellisesti suunniteltu. Toivottavasti saat koneen lentämään pienillä viilauksilla. Jatko kiinnostais myös kunhan homma edistyy

Well, if you screw up the aerodynamics and basic weight and balance, no amount of fancy equipment and software will save the day. This is proof of why one should always do a sloppy prototype before moving to production grade processes.

@nulas87 Ай бұрын

Yes, I always need to try if I screw up everything or is ir success, many times its hard to know in advance. This was quickly and cheaply made prototype not for production. Also wanted to try few new production methods
