Status: offline 		Hi everyone. I've been coming-up with a 737 design, and I'm wondering if it's at least an ok design. The pics below are of it, and I'm wondering if it can be made into a real flying machine! NOTE: i'm not gonna make the plane that tall, It's just hard drawing with these mouses!

Status: offline 		Because the R/C world thinks that anything aviation revolves around military fighters, and aerobatic planes.....Nothing against those, of course.
I wouldnt mind seeing more in the Civil side of things myself, Instead of a boxy high wing trainer with a Cessna label on it.
Just a shameless plug for the 717 thread, The 717 is nearing flight testing, and Green Air in the UK is CNC machining a precision fuselage for an MD81.

Hey, Hawknbird,
What do you need, I could probably help you, or know someone that can...I have been researching the subject for about 3 years now.

Status: offline 		Well, I dont know what scale your looking to build, but you can go to http://www.michel-concorde.com/, for the big stuff, he moulds the difficult stuff, I.E.; nose, wing saddle,tail cone and nacells, you just add foam cylinders between them to complete the fuselage. Comes with templates.
You could also visit www.pjmodelclassics.be, Paul has a 747 plan, that if taken to a printer, could easily be enlarged to the point of the nacells being able to accept EDF units. He also offers A SUD Caravelle(DC9 style airliner) A B52 Bomber, and a Gulfstream jet. I am going to do the latter meself, as the Suburban isnt big enough to haul a Micheal Concord 747. I also have a source who has plans to offer a full set of cad plans for the 747-400, but I will keep you all updated on that, as he is very busy with his 727.Also, visit my friend and fellow modeller/drummer website, www.nextcraft.com. Mike shows how to cut up a scale model for an f-22 to make his own plans. this also works with airliners that have complex fuselage shapes. such as the 747. this is also the method I used for building my 717. As long as there are scale models of what you want to build, you will always have a way to creat precision plans, then take them to the printer and have them enlarged to any scale you want. A friend just built a twin turbine powered B-58 Hustler this way.
Hey, Pilot_kid, Visit www.pssaonline.co.uk, and e-mail them to get in touch with the builder of the e-3/707 model thats on the site, he may be able to help you with the fuselage. The 737 shares the same fuselage section with the 707 and 727.
Jim

Status: offline 		I have a foam glider I bought at Wally World that looks like an airliner. It weighs 5 oz still in the package and has a 4 1/2' wingspan, so the package says. I'd like to try either 2 GWS ducted fans or 2 or 4 GWS prop motors. Any sugjestions? Thanx, GWR
