Hi,

Two years ago, my modeler friend started to build the DC-3 / LI-2 / ЛИ-2 model scale M1:5.
He plans to build this model for another 5-6 years.
I help him with the CAD drawings.

Sometimes, I upload pictures of the project.

I design this model in SOLID EDGE Student Edition which is an amazing and free CAD program.
Thanks SIMENS!!

Now THAT is impressive ! ! ! !

What engines will your buddy be using for powering this beast?

A. J. Clark

That is nice. Looking forward to seeing this one develop into an airplane. Please keep us up to date.

At least,two ZG-62 petro engines,but he doesn’t know exactly.
When,we started this project the Dave Johnson’s Dakota DC-3 scale 20%. inspired us.

I was at Budaőrs Airfield ( LHBS ) where I met Mr.Károly ” Fedő ” Hajdu,the founder of the Goldtimer Foundatioan
( http://www.goldtimer.hu/li2-a.html ).
He was very helpful,showed me the Li-2 (HA-LIX) and he told me the story of the restoration of the Li-2 plane.
I took severaral pictures,all of which I am going to show you in this topic.

My friend and I decided that the elavator servos will be in the horizontal stabilizer.

The ribs are made from 3mm linden plywood.
