I will start, mi of september, to build a 1/16 scale KC 10 ( In flight refueler DC 10 )
I will use Norbert Rauch fiber glass parts, and Manfred Köster styro parts, and HAWE retract

Same style of construction will be used as I built my A330-300
If someone see interrest in that, I can supply this tread with pics and informations about the way to do it
Just let know

Yowser - that's what - about a 16 ft wingspan ?

Please share pics & build progress - this should be an awesome bird.

Here is a picture of a 1/16th scale KC-10 I started about 10 years ago or so. I sold it and I think it is in Florida now. I have all the drawings with sections if you need them. Butch

The DC6 was my model built to 1/16 scale. I brought it out to the field that day to show it off....but this guy Butch shows up with his big DC-10 model and steals the show!!
It was interesting that we both chose 1/16 scale for our projects.

Butch,
That's why I'll get you to do it for me next time....
Maybe you can teach me to mix a whole gallon can at a time!

Hi Butch,

I'd like a set of drawings from you if you still have them. [8D]
Your jet looks real scale. What engines did you design it around and are there any canopys or fiberglass parts available in the US?
I worked on the full scale birds for 5 years and never got used to all the extra steps into the cabin.

Hit the "Reply" button ; in the next page that appears, look for "Click here to upload images and files!" near the bottom of the page. Click on that link, and you will get a pop-up window that lets you select image files for upload. Select the pics you want, then hit "OK" ; wait for the "file uploaded successfully" message, hit "OK" to close the popup window ; now you are back at the main window where you were typing in your message - hit OK here again, and all should be well. A mistake that quite a few people make, is thinking that after hitting the first "OK" button, they are done.

Work will start on Monday, so I will keep you posted about the construction, and will do a tutor on my web pages

Groendahl

I will Use a 11kg thrust jetturbine (gasturbine) for my dc10. I place it in the tail and make som dummies for the to others.
Iám working on finding a cam to place in the wing so i can make som movies from the air. but i have not found the system jet.

// ready for take off???

Strykaas

If you're wealthy, some nice setups at rc-tech in switzerland...

One cool thing would be to have 'rotating' dummies that simulate real turbofans. I think it still hasn't been done, at least here on rcu.

Hello

Have you resive the foam and glafiber parts??

charlieoneseven

Groendal take a look at Willfrance web site he installed a video cam in the leading edge of his airbus a330 with transmitted signal to the ground in real time. HE had to make an amplifier for reception and the video he shot looks great with nose and nacelle in view.

Groendahl
