Thank you for sharing the correct pronunciation of his name! LOL Now I need to reprogram my brain.

If you want, send us some modules and we can help with the printing.

Ok, let us see how this works first , mainly see if we catch any errors , we could do some printing in parallel.
thanks Wayne !

Great job Jure. I need to take a look at that CAD software.

Wow - so cool - thanks Wayne!

Incidentally chaps, I made a mistake in my project roundup - the DH108 with be 60"span - NOT 80"span - as I reported.

You'd need a truck or a few slaves to get it up and off the hill at 2M span.

Dooohhhh.

Cheers,

Doc.

And now for something(s) completely different:

I give you the: Mayasishchev M55 Geophysica.

And - the good old Vickers Valiant that I rmemebr so well from my childhood:

are there any correlations between wing twist and negative dihedral as a circumstance of aerodynamic net force(s)?

There should be. I have never looked at it so I am not sure what and why.

let's be fair, I take the blame

60" DH108 project: Latest progress report:

Jure has made a new CAD and the parts have been divided up for printing over the whole fuselage. Now its onto the printing, with the nose cone done and the front left section just on the printer.

Thanks to Wayne for offers of help but since there may still be small changes we'll keep it in-house for now.

Plan is to print all the parts, (Jure) Ship the bits to Taiwan and then join them into one assembly (Doc) Next step will be to reinforce any areas that need it with epoxy/glass and then finish the nomal way with filler etc and some coats of paint. At the same time the joiner and wing peg marks will be scribed into the plug.

Still looking for wing cutters, guys. Its easy to do and I did design a really good system with Phil in New Zealand, but its just something that as a company we (Aeroic) have not done.

Fuse split into sections for 3-D printing.

Grey one is the new one to correct scale.

Front left section - next to be printed.

Started!

Cheers,

Doc/Jure

We can cut the foam cores. That is not an issue.

Lord Wayne...such a gentleman and yea verily a wondrous scholar...please step into my office!

Seriously, though, thanks a lot for that.

Wings will be simple and supplied as a 'kit' with foam cores pre-cut, and an *1/8" ply root rib, two 6mm round or rectangular carbon tube spars, a 16mm (5/8") round carbon joiner tube/inner tube, veneer or balsa covering, and *balsa end caps. Wings to be fitted/finished by the owner.

*Hopefully the ply root ribs and balsa end caps can be laser cut.

I hope I can get the joiner tubes somewhere close to the CG so that they can act as ballast by filling the carbon joiner tube or changing the joiner material.

Fuse will have one former at the spar and two anti crush braces pre-bonded in. Supplied as a trimmed grey painted moulding. Canopy removable to get at the radio, but I'm not sure if that will be a clear plastic vac formed part or just a moulded glass part.

Controls: Ailerons, flaps and elevator. Bomb release.

So far so good.

Cheers,

Doc.

Here is another goodie: Second in the 3 aircraft British "V-Bomber" nuclear (nuc-le-ar) delivery series, the Handley Page Victor.

I saw loads of these flying when I was a lad.

Its been done before like most things, but I think if it were made quite large, maybe 100" and maybe as a styrene block model? it would be very imposing on the slope.

Back to the case in hand - the DH108.
Needless to say, Jure has been making strides on the 3-D printing - its beginning to look the part.

Funny how these early jets always look a bit dumpy until you get the wings on. I made a PSS Hawker Hunter a million years ago which had the same feel - flew like a bird though - especially the electric drill rolls.

As you can see, I'm pretty sure that it would be no biggie to fit an EDF into this cavernous tuber.

Overall, thanks to Jure's hard and diligent work, we are getting there. It will be interesting to see how it looks with the canopy.

Cheers,

Doc. Who still knows bugger-all about 3-D printing

 

[Wayne]

Woohoo, getting closer!

 

[Doc J]

Meanwhile, back at the Zaninovich ranch, rumour has it that the printing marathon might be done...

Dayum!
