Status: offline 		I managed to roughly model the windshield and it indeed put my patience to the test: a lot more work needs to be done but at least I saw I can deal with it. Once it will be ok the patterns will be made available with the plans so that future modelers won't go nuts because of the guesswork involved.



I'll also make a mold for a fiberglass one.

You will learn a lot but bear in mind that the work I've done so far calls for as low as the 10% of the software capabilities!

This is due to the fact that the model features veryy simple sections thus requiring no advanced tooling.

Give it a try if you can, it sure looks harder than it is, believe me. There are lots of resources to get started with and they usually deal with everything you will ever need (we are not pros are we?).

No time to work with my CL right now.So I'm just waiting for your updates.
I found these while I was googling......
An easier and simpler way for main gear construction of aluminum tube and 2mm sheet (..I think...).
Great solution for those guys without machine tools.

Status: offline 		I'm sorry I'm pretty stuck with the 215 right now as I'm both waiting for laser-cut pieces and getting other models ready for the flying season (too many years spent building rather than flying...).

I'm now working on a drop plane for my RC skydiver that seem to be a lot of fun!

Status: offline 		g_boxwood Thanks for your redirect to this build thread. Due to my fight with health issues in the last year, I have all but given up on building. But now your detailed reporting on this build has re sparked an interest in breaking out the glue and woods. As I understand you are reworking the plans, I was taught as a young man to look over, study and re study plans before the first cut ever takes place. As for the set that Dumas released I have not spent as much time I need to but the detail of his plans really caught my attention. Thanks again and I am looking forward to your progress

Status: offline 		Giacomo, do you happen to have an r/c flight simulator?

Reason I ask, is because I have Real Flight, and there is a nice CL-215 model you can download and fly in the sim. I was flying it last night.
