update
meanwhile we have had some progress. Because this is an international hobby project it costs some more time than expected, we have CAD designer in UK, Sitzerland and Germany, positive and mold producers in Australia and Italy, kit producer in Italy
121" version:
will be produced in Italy by a carbon fiber specialist who works in a company which produces wings of windmills.
The positive is ready to mill but during the design of the hardware we've found out that the stern pod must be changed.
This has been done by our CAD designer, we are waiting for the data.
Hardware has been concepted by me and transferred into CAD-data:
- drives
- trim tabs
- rudders (CAD work ongoing)
The first models will get 2 RAT HOUSEs each. To be able to perform an easy package study I have made 2 powertrain dummies.
You may check the pics in the attachment if you'd like
65" version:
Mick in Australia is working on the positive, see attachments. The hardware will be a bit more easy because we can scale that down from the bigger model.
