Ich möchte Euch beim Bau bzw. Druck eines Modellflugzeuges mitnehmen. In 6 Folgen seht ihr, wie man sich ein Kunstflugzeug aus dem 3D Drucker bauen kann. Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim zuschauen.

I think I asked that already: Are there any R/C airplane pilots around?

Please boost!

Work-in-Progress: A 1:6.5 scale, 3D printed WACO YMF-5 biplane, painted in deep purple metal flake. It will have white accents and lettering when complete.

1.44 m wingspan, 1.1 m length, and 43 cm height, with a 38 cm (15 in), two-bladed wooden propeller.

I created a custom ignition wire ring for the 14 spark plug wires of the 7-cylinder radial engine.

These golden era beauties are still made-to-order today https://www.wacoaircraft.com/ymf-5

This is a 3d printed 1:6.5 scale model of a Boeing-Stearman Model 75 “Kaydet” from 3DLabPrints.

It is painted in the chromium yellow and insignia red livery of U.S. Navy N2S-3 instrument trainer from the World War 2 era.

The broad red stripes appear on the tail behind the cockpit and on the top and bottom wings on either side of the fuselage. A pre-June 1942 U.S. National Roundel also appears on each wingtip.

Years ago some friends and I rigged up a camera on our RC airplanes and then flew combat with them. Forgive the mute sound and standard definition, but here is a highlights video:
