Hi guys and gals, I wanted to post this to get feedback on what I am doing. The Design Intent of this project was to produce a 33" Foamy GeeBee R1/R2 "Block Built" Profile as close to scale as possible. Keeping Very Simple and Very Inexpensive allways in mind. This is a first in a series of planes built around Grayson Hobbies Disposable Foamy power plant (CB2208-14) or similar set up. 3 servos. (I have no connection with GH, I just like the 19.95 price point) Attention to Scale detail was of primary concern, compromises made due to flat plate foam construction were kept minimal, this includes the paint livery. I have as many as 20 more planes of this type "in the bag" and ready to go. most are WWII warbirds and vintage pylon racers. I intentionally left out "G" code for several reasons. First I do not own a Phlat Printer yet. Secondly as I live in Ireland all our stuff is metric and the powerplant you choose will most likely differ etc. Just seemed to me that each of you will end up with your own code. Lasty, no attempt was made as to "nesting" or laying out the parts the way you might cut them. I look forward to any and all questions, suggestions etc. All the best USXPAT[paypal]maxdeals@live.com[/paypal] Attached files 33GBee R2 PB.skp (4 MB)Â
Nice job USXPAT Sharp design and I love the idea of building them around the disposable foamy power plant! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing Mark and Trish
