Subsonex Aerotech 18mm RMS D2.3T Glider Design
Last weekend my main plan was to build the 1/60 Saturn V I have printed out ready to cut and build.
Then got to thinking about the subsonex and how bad I want one. Working on that right now. Looking at the lines got to thinking it might be a good choice for the Aerotech 18mm RMS with plugged engine. Spent Saturday designing and printing (printed twice-had issues with 1st printing). Doing a test build of a Subsonex designed for Aerotech 18mm RMS, D2.3T. A few photos of the build-still have Elevons, wing tips and engine nacelle to add before weight and balance testing. This is the first prototype-next version will have R/C controls. This one is to see how stable it is. Plan a whole flight test series to see if it will work for the Aerotech. My problem is where to mount the launch lug... Photos show inside view of model-there is ink where normally it would be white-reprint on same paper cardstock as first printing. Photos 1786 & 1789 show the markings on the balsa wood parts, a partially constructed fuselage. 1791-Inside photo showing balsa wood Elevon supports 1796-twisted the fuselage top to show the balsa wood support for the Engine Nacelle 1798- 18mm Engine Nacelle 1802-Gluing a Wing on 1805-Dry Fit Test Engine Nacelle 1809 Engine Nacelle closeup Subsonex: 30" Wingspan 26 - 1/4" Long Weighs 3 oz total paper weight. Weighs 3.8 oz with B6-4 installed for engine size fit test Mike Last edited by mbauer : 02-12-2022 at 10:38 AM. Reason: Photos upload |
