Default RE: Designing a new pattern model

ORIGINAL: Alex Voicu

Thank you for the kind words; i'm really glad you like it.
I work as a CAD/CAM engineer since 2000 and 3D modelling is one of my hobbies; unfortunately most of my projects at work are not as interesting as designing pattern planes

For those who are interested in the 3D model of the YS170, i can probably upload it somewhere in IGS or STEP file format. Most CAD software are able to read these formats, but sometimes errors may occur. The Solidworks model is split in 2 files and the total size is simply too large (over 500Mb). Just send me a message at a_voiku -at- yahoo dot com and i'll see what i can do.

Fuselage will be composite with a conventional layout: a removable chin cowl covering the engine and Hatori muffler and a canopy hatch which i think is large enough even for the electric version. Here are a few shots shots showing the main fuselage modelling steps:
Alex,

Drawing a model and designing a model are not the same thing. Sure you can copy parameters from other models like everyone else does. If you want to do something more original on the design side. contact me directly
