We congratulate you and wish you much fun on this journey with this wonderful model aircraft.

The Jetpower fair is over – for us, the exhibition was a great success. We would like to sincerely thank all our visitors, friends and clients. The interest was very high, and encourages us to keep going.

We continue with our project.
Peter Glück has received his original models and can continue with the shaping of the tank carrier. For this, the wings must be fixed horizontally. The wings of the Alpha Jets have a negative dihedral. For this reason, teaching / bulletin boards provide with 6 degree angle of inclination that our tank holder can be mounted at the correct angle later.


Now, the parts can be molded with the known method. Here we work again with packing tape.






Peter has always marked out the position of each part on the bulletin board to have an orientation for the position of the next part. This is important so that later it all fits together. This weekend you go into the painting chamber and then to the detailing.










Some have certainly seen our retract dummies at the Jetpower fair. This allowed us to simulate the retract progress perfectly.











Do make sure all the drawings fit before milling the retract parts, Markus Lützenburger agreed to make a 3D printed model of the undercarriage. In one or the other drench questions about 3D printing to. Markus Lützenburger (markus33) is here then surely will answer your questions.
