DeHavilland Swallow PSS?

[jure]

So far...Note: Jure changed to a new type of black filament - he's going for that "Cubist look...
Its coming....
Cheers, Doc

just same plain PLA, new black spool , after running out of grey...

skipped the last two fuselage sections and went to the very end.
Still pending : the fin and the two skipped sections.

this looks like a part of the Batmobile !

 

[jure]

Back to the case in hand - the DH108.
... It will be interesting to see how it looks with the canopy.

Cheers,

Doc.

35 hours to go.

DocJ, tell us more about the DH108 Project - size? ultimate material? power?

hello John ( @"j ferguson" )
, here is a summary of key geometry dimensions

wing span : 1524 mm = 60"
total length : 1161 mm
wing chord at the root : 480 mm
fuselage span to the wing roots : 391mm
fuselage tube length : 1026 mm
scale : 1:7.87
wing area : 0.491 sqm = 5.28 sqft

PSS, sloper configuration , no motor. Maybe an EDF option may come at a later stage .
Fuselage Material fiber glass
Wings foam core balsa sheeted, FG skin.

 

[jure]

the fuselage plug kit is almost ready, currently printing the canopy plug sections.

 

[jure]

one section of the canopy has been printed , it corresponds to the aft part of the canopy BTW.

That is gonna get some attention! Great job Jure!

That is gonna get some attention! Great job Jure!

a million thanks to you !
and also to those who are following with interest : Marek , Red, Sean, Wayne , Ron , and others

 

[Wayne]

Thats a big boy!

She looks good put together.

 

[jure]

we are now ready to ship to the far east ( or is it the near west ? ) .

 

[Red]

Awesome!

 

[Wayne]

Can I ask: Is it done yet?

What, now you want the tracking number?

3D printing is complete...
shipping to Taiwan ASAP

BTW, do you need the DXF drawing of the wing roots ?

so, @Wayne ?

 

[Wayne]

Ahh, I need all details of the wing if you want me to cut cores. Foils, sweeps, angles, spans.

Hi Guys, Looks like the 3-D print idea is not going to fly.

So I'll make a former/stringer/styrofoam/glass fuselage plug.

I have done this before, as I made the fuselage plug for the very first actual twin jet powered Dassault Rafale model many years ago in the early 90's.

The project lives!

Cheers, Doc.
