Rebuilding a project from my past - an RC balsa-wood glider

Rebuilding a project from my past - an RC balsa-wood glider - with Onshape

Many years ago I built (and crashed) this RC glider. I stumbled across a pdf of the plans from the now defunct manufacturer and knew that I had to remodel it.
As it turns out it was a really good way to show off some nice capabilities of Onshape: building a robust, extremely flexible parametric model!
Starring in this episode: workspace protection, merge lines, branching and merging, frame features, linked documents, variable fillets, Boolean with offset, folders, custom features, loft, intersection curves, trim curves, patterns, derive, and a few more I've left out...

Tricky, but cool. Thanks Greg. This one was really helpful. I am still looking forward to your forthcoming video on how to plan/organize your thoughts when setting up the model airliner project.

Yes I do intend to do this follow up - lots going on as always, but it's firmly on my to do list.

I remember Aeroflyte Greg! South Aussie too. Love your vids. I will move to Onshape one day soon I think. Cloud is still a big issue for my work scenario though. I work freelance in the UK: primarily at film studios with appalling internet connections; sometimes overseas in 2nd world countries with rubbish internet; even at home, it has taken 6 weeks for BT, Openreach and now a different provider to get a landline connection. Shocking. Starling is probably one route I could take to change this sitch. Ok. Now sitting down to enjoy the vid. :)

Great to hear from a fellow South Aussie. There's a lot I miss about the place, having been overseas for decade(s) now(!) There are people in all sorts of out of the way places using various means to get onto the internet, so I'm sure something will work out for you.
