I need to do the following:
Wings.Engine cowls.Engine pans.Elevators.Landing gears.Ailerons.Rudder.Wing center section.Fuselage formers and wing crutch.Wing tips.Flaps.Belly pan.Install landing gear in aircraft – Angles are off.Engine mounting box.Landing gear doors.Separate wing crutch from wing centre-section to make it possible to gain access to the inside of the fuselage for battery, radio etc. equipment.Clean up fuselage around windows and the wing trailing edge.Draw wing saddle.Convert 3D model to 2D plans.Make cut-out in wing trailing edges to make room for the flaps.- Add control horns to ailerons and the rudder.
- R/C Installation.
- Note down any problems with the drawings during build process.
Hi,
I must say you make a perfect work. This sites are very interesting for me because Japs´ are my favourite and I agree that Ki-46 is the most elegant aircraft over the world. I collect plastic aircraft kits and construct and fly RC models as well. I have a rich library ( for example Dinah in detail ) so there is no problem, if you want, to send you scans. I have also more materials about Fi-167 and others.
With regards, Josef
Hi Josef,
First a big thank you for writing. I am very interested in whatever information you have on the Fi-167. I have sent you a private e-mail.
Are you going to make these plans available, I would love to build this aircraft
Any new progress on the Dinah
Hi Brian,
Things are looking up. The design is almost done. There is only one major problem left, the flaps. While thinking about how to do those, I am cleaning up the fuselage. There are some issues around the fuselage.
Converting the 3D model to a set of 2D plans also takes quite some time, mainly because of the way I have model it.
I plan to start building the prototype at the start of the new year.
Looking forward for the 2D plans
