Default RE: Scratch Built Jet

While not my first plug/mold/composite project, you are correct that this is my first turbine design project. It also was the most technically challenging project to date. It is amazing how complicated a “simple” looking plane can actually be to design and build.

I didn’t save most of design calcs as they were mainly back of napkin in nature, but I still have the working drawings. Not a lot to see, but I attached screen shots of the main drawing that has the basic layout and some of the formers.
