Thank you! Thank you! Finally another good creative RC Build&Design Channel. TH-cam is lacking hard of good and long building videos! Love your cad design, your building technique and your editing!!! Keep on posting and we might have another RamyRC here :P best wishes from germany
Oh wow! Thank you 😊 for such a nice comment! Just doing my best. 🤫 I'm not so sure Ramy wants another Ramy on TH-cam .... he builds really great looking planes
Hi Nicolas! Thank you for the compliment!! I'm trying my best to make a good video series for everyone to enjoy. I'm glad I did that with this video for you! Cheers.
A huge CHEERS from Seattle! Thank you for the appreciation and kind words. I am going right into the empennage section next week. Have a great weekend.
I am unable to digest the fact that you are making rc plane in a tidy environment (which most builders keep dreaming of 😂), you have multi-angle camera setup and studio lighting 😍, your CAD model videos are explained in a way they can be done by anyone 😇. There is so much to learn from your hard work that goes in making the aircraft and the videos. This is called quality content. KUDOS my friend!
It's all camera magic hiding the mess 😜 Thank you for this create comment full of compliments and acknowledgment of the work I am putting out there for everyone. It's all to hopefully keep interest in the hobby and aerospace. Cheers!
This is a work of art and a demonstration of perseverance and resilience because moment by moment, pieces, pieces, accessories, screws, glues, the entire work is very difficult and takes time.Takes time. Incredible that it is very faithful to the original construction, the fuselage sections incredible work
As an old-world aeromodeller, I'm just astounded that you can do all this with no actual plan, no jigs, no mess- and spotless hands, too.... I have a lot to learn.!
That's in large part thanks to CAD software, laser cutters, 3D Printers and some camera magic 😆 There was plenty of mess just off camera. I spent a good bit of time cleaning up after each day of recording/building.
Yup! It's much bigger than I thought it would be. After seeing it all this time in CAD, the real thing is a very different experience! Thanks for watching!
All I can say is OHWOW!!! Gorgeous work and with many new techniques like the 3D printing glad to see more people bringing modern technology into this decades old hobby. Keep it up please!
Hi! Thank you for the accolades! Yes, trying to hybridize the making and building process. Nice to hear you appreciate the techniques I'm incorporating in this build and ultimately the kit. Much more to come, already working on the next episode.
I really like the quality of design that you've put into this model. The tab-slot method of assembly, or in some cases - half-rounds - to ensure the pieces align properly. The little things to limit accidents during construction.
Hi 👋 A big THANK YOU from Seattle for this great comment! You are correct, the tab-slots do a great job of pulling and holding the frame in perfect alignment. Halfway through adding the longerons, I thought something was wrong because it was pulling to the port side, however, after adding the longerons to the Starboard side, it was 100% true. Whew! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment -- Cheers!
Hi Chuck! 👋 Thank you for taking a moment to add this really awesome compliment to the comments. Nice to hear that you really enjoyed the video and the work so far. I'm knees deep into the tail section now, it's making me go cross-eyed trying to make sure everything is right 😆 Thanks again! cheers! 🍻
I'm not even into flying RC but your content is incredible. While I'll probably never build one myself I can appreciate the hard work that you've put into this project. From one aviation enthusiast to another, great work! Can't wait for the next update!
So impressed with your technology of making rc tristar model. I have been making rc planes for long time with balsa wood and fibre glass. But I never saw this type of technology of making jet airliner like L 10 11.
Hey there! Thank you!! Oh man you have no idea. Parts that take 2 minutes to put together take 30 minutes to set up, double check focus, shoot, add another angle, repeat, and move on to the next. The gear bay alone section took 2 days to shoot. Totally worth it tho! I really want to bring people into the details of the project as best I can and maybe get some more people back into the hobby. How's your latest build going?
@@RCCAD2VR ohh, that's a lot of work and patience, but really worth it! My project is kind of left behind, because of my own Architectural Design college projects, I have to make models for my own design too and I have really less time to get those things done eventually not getting time to work on my Airplane Maybe I'll start working on it next month, semester holidays starts!
Yeah, it's definitely a lot of work. Sounds to me like you're keeping pretty busy! You're plane isn't going anywhere, it'll be waiting for you when you get some time away from school.
@@RCCAD2VR yeah, the Airplane is totally healthy anyway from all climate till now, especially the fuselage (once vinyled it's weather proof, for which I'm really proud off!, this is the only model didn't get any cold weather damage) , considering Bangalore's climate here in India. Hopefully I'll be back on the model soon
I've been designing my for RC plane on freecad and I'm pleased to see that I'm on the right track. My first one is much smaller than this and I don't even care if it fly's or not, I'll just be glad to learn something from it. Seeing this build has given me lots of ideas though.
Hey there! Thank you. Yeah, this video was a serious haul to make but was a ton of fun at the same time. So glad to hear the work is being appreciated! Cheers!
Thanks Keith! Glad to see you hanging in there after the long delay, but alas, getting things moving forward again. Glad you enjoyed this episode, woot woot!
HA! I know, right! Saying "Oh, I'll design a 1/20th scale, 8.5 foot wing span airplane on my laptop, that's not so big" and then build it to realize wow, this is much bigger than on my laptop 😆
Salut. Merci d'avoir attendu pendant que je me remettais d'un revers après l'autre. Les réflexions avancent bien à nouveau ! Content que la vidéo vous ait plu, la prochaine est en préparation. Voici une page qui montre tous les épisodes que je vais sortir dans la série www.rccad2vr.com/l1011-build-series
@@RCCAD2VR Merci Terrance, je suis aussi fan de cnc donc si vous avez des conseilles avisés sa m'aidera pour que je puis à mon tour réalisés des projets comme le votre, voir le votre tous simplement pour se faire la main.
Thanks David! I can't tell you how many iterations , hours, and reference photos it took to get to this. I was so happy to finally get this nailed down. Thanks for noticing!
That's awesome! Love hearing from guys who got to work on this amazing aircraft. Anything you felt Lockheed did better than the other manufactures of commercial passenger planes?
@@RCCAD2VR it had 4 hydraulic systems, ok 747 has it also, DC-10 only 3. It had a advanced flight control system with DLC Direct Lift Control, in landing face aircraft has to follow glide slop, this they do with engine power and elevators, 1011 controlled it with spoilers deflection, over glide slop, spoilers go out, under glide slop spoilers go in, constant powersetting and no elevators moving. Old time aircraft had cables controling flight control actuators, that reqest adjustment. 1011 had pre tension cables that was factory adjusted. I coul write a vhole day about the aircraft, i have also worked from Convair 340/440 and Fokker F28 up to DC10. Doors could be opened without electric power, by emergency open from outsider without deploy of slide, no resetting just close with power. Activ control of aileron to reduse wingload and turbulence, Airbus introduced that on A320.
This is fantastic man! It looks like a really fun build. I also watch the Ramy r/c guy. But I’m sure as you know he does mostly all composite. I enjoyed both. I was a yacht builder here in Maine for over 25 years. So I have worked with absolutely everything! I have been building models for 54 years. I am happy to have live long enough to see 3-D printing and this new AutoCAD whatever 😂 designing change the hobby. Believe me I’m impressed, or I wouldn’t have stopped to say cheers!🍻
Hi Michael 👋👋 Thank you for taking the time to write this great comment! 🍻 54 Years of building models! Wow, you've seen some pretty cool models come across your worktop over those years. What type of models do you typically build? Yes, Ramy seems focus mostly on molded composite frames, very nice models for sure. I've got much more to come, if you're interested, I have an episode guide on my website to give you an idea of which episodes are yet to come. www.rccad2vr.com/l1011-build-series -- Cheers to you as well
@@RCCAD2VR I meant to say 50 years. But still that’s a long time. I started off with stick and tissue when I was five. I have done some composite and wooden boats. My airplanes are a mix of built-up wood, ARF’s, composits, and foamies. I am also into helicopters. I started flying RC in 1979.
That's awesome!! I've considered getting in to RC boat design and building sometime down the road. Seems like something I would enjoy. Helis is a whole other ballgame altogether. Do you find more people are getting into it, or have quadcopters sucked the air out of the room?
@@RCCAD2VR i’m afraid the interest is just going away with kids playing video games and shit like that. A lot of people do have drones. And there has never been a huge interest in my state towards helicopters. The market may be picking up. Not like it is in the cities.
An excellent video. The lighting, the camera work, the production is very professional. Watching you design, print, cut and build your model is orgazmik . I love it and I will be following your progress. Best of luck
This project will make a perfect rc airplane..i am waiting for part 3, if I own this plane and maidened it for the first time, my knees will shaking badly...
Thank you Nicolas! There is a lot of passion put into this project for sure. Thank you for noticing and taking the time to comment on it! Welcome to the channel!
Just a simple little note, I'm sure you know, but you may want to make sure that Lock Tight does not affect the 3D printed parts. It will destroy other types of similar materials. I had to learn the hard way that it needs to be used on nothing but metal to metal parts. Lol Beautiful design and beautiful model. I love the old Whisper Liner. Such a Classic and historic aircraft, in more ways than one. So much new technology came out when this classic hit the lines.
Yup, I am aware of the Loctite plastic interaction. I've recently switched to the plastics safe 425 formula they have. The L-1011 is definitely a one of a kind airliner. The Whisper Liner was a bit ironic, since those engines had such a distinctive an aggressive roar. I sat near that back on my last L-1011 flight, and even in the late 90's it was noticeably quieter than other planes I had flown on, but the sound still made you take note. Thanks for watching and taking a sec to comments. Cheers!
Brilliant craftsmanship! The L1011 is my most favorite of all airliners. Is this the 500 series and if so is it possible to extend the fuselage to the 250 series?
Thank you! It's been a real test getting this designed and built to this point :) This was originally supposed to be the 500, but the diagrams I used to start the design was actually the from the 200 series, so this is has ended up being the longer fuse version :) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Beautifully designed aircraft and very well filmed and edited. Keep up the excellent work! (Please be aware that Loctite is known to eat into plastic and make it brittle, better use locknuts when using metal screws in plastic).
@@RCCAD2VR since it is a top flite brand that i bought from ebay it didn't come with any hardware or especially the tail gear bracket. The plastic bracket was easy now i got to buy a steel rod and cut and bend it.
Another beautiful video sir ! I plan to build a large scale model soon and with your knowledge and method of building using Fusion360 it will be a lot of help. Thanks for everything ❤
You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear that you're able to get enough from the videos to be able to start building your own. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
That's a nice build, I am still not completely sure about using 3d printed parts in builds but it seems like it has come a long way and I might start doing it on my next build. Have been working on (hand) drawing a MQ-9 for a long time but you convinced me to scrap that and go draw it up in fusion. Would be interested in an in dept video about aerofoil selection, that was something that has been holding me back for a long time.
Hey there! Thank you and welcome to the world of CAD! Hope it is going well so far. 3D printed parts can be far more durable than any wood you have on the plane if you use the right material and orient the design and printing process towards their strengths. I'm using filaments that are just shy of aluminum strength. They are moderately pricy though but allow for parts to be designed specifically for their application. Airfoils is a huge topic, if I can find an expert on the subject to help steer me a bit on this, I'd gladly make a video about it. Cheers!
Just Wow. Loved every minute of this, like all your other videos. You have taken it up another level ..yet again. Awesome work Terrance. What I would love to know is how many iterations of the parts did you have to go through to make these sections fit perfectly.... 😁🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Hi Chris! Woot Woot, great to hear you loved this episode! It was a major haul getting this video created, but so excited to have it out in the wild for everyone to enjoy. As for the iterations, I'm shocked to say, this is the first and only one. I learned a ton from the center fuselage build and applied those lessons to this section and it worked. The beauty of CAD, hard lessons, and a little bit of luck. There was only one longeron that I had to be recut because of an imperfection in the wood that caused about 3mm to disintegrate in the interior of the lamination. Let's hope the next part goes as smoothly. 🤞
@@RCCAD2VR Superb. It must feel oh so satisfying to lock all those well fitting parts together. Sublime. What will you skin the fuselage in ? 2-3mm balsa then glass cloth ? I am sure you need a rest, but looking fwd to the next installment 👍👍
Hey there! Thank you for the compliment, glad you like it so much! r/e reddit... I wish I could, but I have found many subreddits to be hostile to self promotion so I've since back off of it 😔 You're more than welcome to share it though if you'd like. It would certainly help! Thanks for your support - Cheers
Unbelievable craftsmanship, any chance of the kit coming actual parts as opposed to having the need for a 3d printer etc in other words no stl files at all, just a box full of great quality parts.
Thank you. It's always nice to hear the work I do is appreciated. Cheers! The short answer to your kit question is, Yes 😃 The kits as they stand now, will come in 5 different flavors. You can see them here on my website www.rccad2vr.com/trijet-kit-pre-order-waitlist - Thanks for taking a sec to leave a comment and question.
Bonjour Merci beaucoup! Le nez n'est qu'un espace réservé pour la version en fibre de verre. Celui que vous voyez dans la vidéo est imprimé à partir de Tough-PLA que je vais utiliser pour fabriquer un moule.
Hi Terrance.. another great instalment... A couple of questions, if i may... Firstly.. do you allow any tolerances to your tab slots...or do you print both at he same dimension and fettle if required? Will you use a jig at some point to ensure the sections are straight...or do you relay on the accuracy of the parts and assume straightness? cheers Geoff
Hey there Geoff! firstly, thanks for watching! The tab slot tolerances are taken care of during cutting by setting the kerf value. This provides a good snug fit. The trick however is the variances in the wood thickness, which I learned the hard way in the first build, where one sheet was .7mm too thick. This go around I measure the sheets before buying them using a caliper. The frame is very much true on its own, but I will use jigs when it comes time to sheeting and planking. The fuselage is so long, that it will need to be held in place through that process.
I just have 1 question, how do youcreate the wood pieces with the exact holes and dimentions..... i know you got that from crafting it in the software but how did you do that in reality, 3D print ? or by hnad? i just wanna know how its done
Hi Terrance, has there been any progress on this build? I am dying to see how it turned out. And thanks for making those videos about designing in F360, it really helped me a lot. Michal
Hi Michal, Yes, there is lots of progress. The plane has its 's first wing, with the second under construction. I did publish part 3 yesterday. And Part 4 is in the works. Glad to know the tutorials were able to help you.
Hi Terence, the designing and building series has been great so far. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but how do you design the plans for building that you had on your desk and was following for the build?
I've watched all of your series and am anxiously waiting for the part when the plane building gets beyond the frame works and gets built into one entity and even probably gets to that stage of taking to the air. Are we ever going to see that here on TH-cam ?
The encouragement is awesome thanks you!! Getting back on track after a rough couple of months, so very much appreciated! I start getting the production files ready for the tail section tomorrow.
I love your content been in rc for years and love building. You actually helped me get way better at fusion with your videos. First fast question, what will you sheet the fuse and wings with, Balsa, or covering? Thanks a ton so much, and great job
Nice work!! Waited the whole day yersterday until I noticed there is a time difference between Seattle and Munich lol. So what’s the weight of everything right now?
😆 Yeah, those pesky timezones! It didn't help that I was late as well. Wanted to have it done by 3pm PST but it ended up being 8pm. I have not weighed it yet... which reminds me, I need to get a scale. I can say that it's lighter than I thought it would be so far.
I live the rc airplane build the attention to detail is amazing!! I have a question can you tell me the brand of the apron that you are wearing? it looks so nice and comfortable. I would like to get one .
hey, love the content! Just wondering how are you going to strengthen the fuse more (it just seems very twisty). Ramy Rc reinforces his fuses with carbon and i find that that seems to work on almost every model. Keep up the great work, keen to see the next episode.
The base kit is just the wood frame and it comes with the STL files for all of the 3D printed parts and mold plugs. Plus the build manual and list of fasters/hardware and tools. The next step up is the full kit. You can find the details here www.rccad2vr.com/trijet-kit-pre-order-waitlist
Much appreciated Edgar, glad you like! I use Fusion 360's animation feature to create the drawings, then import the PDF files into InDesign to put the manual together. It's a slow process for sure, but it's the best method I've found.
@@RCCAD2VR how can i give you the models i made. Since when do I want to get acquainted with professional people like you, learn more and enlarge this art?
Really enjoyed your videos and learned a lot but... Did you give up on this channel? Are you still working on this project? Will you be posting anymore videos?
Hey there. No, I've not given up on the channel. Life, summer, family, and building out a new shop for building airplanes stole a lot of my time, setting me behind schedule. Finally getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for checking in and sticking with the channel 🤜🤛

That's awesome!! I've considered getting in to RC boat design and building sometime down the road. Seems like something I would enjoy. Helis is a whole other ballgame altogether. Do you find more people are getting into it, or have quadcopters sucked the air out of the room?
@@RCCAD2VR i’m afraid the interest is just going away with kids playing video games and shit like that. A lot of people do have drones. And there has never been a huge interest in my state towards helicopters. The market may be picking up. Not like it is in the cities.
Beautiful and elegant video.
Super beau!
Thank you!
An excellent video. The lighting, the camera work, the production is very professional.
Watching you design, print, cut and build your model is orgazmik .
I love it and I will be following your progress. Best of luck
I found this channel by accident
Best accident EVER!
Subbed and rlly hope so see the final product some day
Woot Woot!!! Welcome to the channel, happy that you found it! Making steady progress on the build will be sharing more in the next video
Really inspiring work Terrence. Awesome build and an awesome video. I’m gonna do something now.
wow - have been looking forward to this for a looooong time ;-)
Hi Kenneth! Thank's for hanging in there :) It's been too long for sure, but I am back on it to get this bird in the air this summer.
amazing i look forward to more!!!
Thank you! I'm making steady progress, next build video is in the works starting this week.
Great video!
Thank you Osvaldo! Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent work!
Thank's man, much appreciated!
Great video, and great construction
Thank you Val! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow great content. Amazing work
Happy to hear you enjoyed the videos! Thanks for watching 😃
This project will make a perfect rc airplane..i am waiting for part 3, if I own this plane and maidened it for the first time, my knees will shaking badly...
Ha! You can trust I will be a jittery mess on the Maiden Flight. There is no more waiting necessary 😃 Part 3 is out as of yesterday!
This is some quality work. You put passion on it and it shows. It brings value into your content. Subscribed!
Thank you Nicolas! There is a lot of passion put into this project for sure. Thank you for noticing and taking the time to comment on it! Welcome to the channel!
You got my favorite printer, instant sub!:)
Woot Woot!! It's a great printer for sure. Welcome to the channel!
Just a simple little note, I'm sure you know, but you may want to make sure that Lock Tight does not affect the 3D printed parts. It will destroy other types of similar materials. I had to learn the hard way that it needs to be used on nothing but metal to metal parts. Lol Beautiful design and beautiful model. I love the old Whisper Liner. Such a Classic and historic aircraft, in more ways than one. So much new technology came out when this classic hit the lines.
Yup, I am aware of the Loctite plastic interaction. I've recently switched to the plastics safe 425 formula they have. The L-1011 is definitely a one of a kind airliner. The Whisper Liner was a bit ironic, since those engines had such a distinctive an aggressive roar. I sat near that back on my last L-1011 flight, and even in the late 90's it was noticeably quieter than other planes I had flown on, but the sound still made you take note. Thanks for watching and taking a sec to comments. Cheers!
Brilliant craftsmanship! The L1011 is my most favorite of all airliners. Is this the 500 series and if so is it possible to extend the fuselage to the 250 series?
Thank you! It's been a real test getting this designed and built to this point :) This was originally supposed to be the 500, but the diagrams I used to start the design was actually the from the 200 series, so this is has ended up being the longer fuse version :) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Beautifully designed aircraft and very well filmed and edited. Keep up the excellent work! (Please be aware that Loctite is known to eat into plastic and make it brittle, better use locknuts when using metal screws in plastic).
Thank you rFlight! Glad you enjoyed the videos, and thank you for the heads up!
you deserve way more followers
Wow. That is amazing. I can't wait to build one. But i need to focus on my DC-3. Hehe
I'm excited for you to build it too! 😁 How far out are you from finishing the DC-3?
@@RCCAD2VR since it is a top flite brand that i bought from ebay it didn't come with any hardware or especially the tail gear bracket. The plastic bracket was easy now i got to buy a steel rod and cut and bend it.
Ahh cool. Sounds like a fun project that should take too long to get into the air.
@@RCCAD2VR hey thanks. It will look good. I hope to have a couple videos about it.
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing them
I want to build a Cessna 310 using these same methods. Sick!
took you long enough... hehe, great work man keep it up
HA! The nose gear put a dent in my speed, but I'm back at it.
Another beautiful video sir ! I plan to build a large scale model soon and with your knowledge and method of building using Fusion360 it will be a lot of help. Thanks for everything ❤
You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear that you're able to get enough from the videos to be able to start building your own. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Your content is incredible 👏
Greetings from East Africa ( Uganda )
That's a nice build, I am still not completely sure about using 3d printed parts in builds but it seems like it has come a long way and I might start doing it on my next build.
Have been working on (hand) drawing a MQ-9 for a long time but you convinced me to scrap that and go draw it up in fusion.
Would be interested in an in dept video about aerofoil selection, that was something that has been holding me back for a long time.
Hey there! Thank you and welcome to the world of CAD! Hope it is going well so far. 3D printed parts can be far more durable than any wood you have on the plane if you use the right material and orient the design and printing process towards their strengths. I'm using filaments that are just shy of aluminum strength. They are moderately pricy though but allow for parts to be designed specifically for their application. Airfoils is a huge topic, if I can find an expert on the subject to help steer me a bit on this, I'd gladly make a video about it. Cheers!
This Man is a GENIUS !
☺️ just relentlessly persistent and patient
Wahouu, NIce job !!!!!
Thank you very much Cédric! Glad you enjoyed this episode! Working on the next part starting Monday. Have a great weekend.
Just Wow. Loved every minute of this, like all your other videos. You have taken it up another level ..yet again. Awesome work Terrance. What I would love to know is how many iterations of the parts did you have to go through to make these sections fit perfectly.... 😁🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Hi Chris! Woot Woot, great to hear you loved this episode! It was a major haul getting this video created, but so excited to have it out in the wild for everyone to enjoy. As for the iterations, I'm shocked to say, this is the first and only one. I learned a ton from the center fuselage build and applied those lessons to this section and it worked. The beauty of CAD, hard lessons, and a little bit of luck. There was only one longeron that I had to be recut because of an imperfection in the wood that caused about 3mm to disintegrate in the interior of the lamination. Let's hope the next part goes as smoothly. 🤞
@@RCCAD2VR Superb. It must feel oh so satisfying to lock all those well fitting parts together. Sublime. What will you skin the fuselage in ? 2-3mm balsa then glass cloth ? I am sure you need a rest, but looking fwd to the next installment 👍👍
luv ya work
Awesome! That's great to hear. Thank you!
Dude, this is great, you need to link this video on some subreddits or something to increase viewership. More people need to see this :) Best of luck!
Hey there! Thank you for the compliment, glad you like it so much! r/e reddit... I wish I could, but I have found many subreddits to be hostile to self promotion so I've since back off of it 😔 You're more than welcome to share it though if you'd like. It would certainly help! Thanks for your support - Cheers
Unbelievable craftsmanship, any chance of the kit coming actual parts as opposed to having the need for a 3d printer etc in other words no stl files at all, just a box full of great quality parts.
Thank you. It's always nice to hear the work I do is appreciated. Cheers! The short answer to your kit question is, Yes 😃 The kits as they stand now, will come in 5 different flavors. You can see them here on my website www.rccad2vr.com/trijet-kit-pre-order-waitlist - Thanks for taking a sec to leave a comment and question.
@@RCCAD2VR thank you so much 👍👍
Anytime
No words 😍
Uh Oh! 😃 I hope you got them back!! -- Thank you
Teacher/Mentor/Craftsman/Artisan.... :)
Thank you! That's very kind of you to write 😊
I am blown away at your skill. You are precise, clean and a craftsman I hope to learn more through your videos. Are the files and instructions ready?
Quelle qualité !
Le nez est imprimé en ABS ou en ASA ?
Bonjour Merci beaucoup! Le nez n'est qu'un espace réservé pour la version en fibre de verre. Celui que vous voyez dans la vidéo est imprimé à partir de Tough-PLA que je vais utiliser pour fabriquer un moule.
@@RCCAD2VR en tout cas les imprimantes fdm haut de gamme ça se remarque...
Hi Terrance.. another great instalment... A couple of questions, if i may... Firstly.. do you allow any tolerances to your tab slots...or do you print both at he same dimension and fettle if required? Will you use a jig at some point to ensure the sections are straight...or do you relay on the accuracy of the parts and assume straightness? cheers Geoff
Hey there Geoff! firstly, thanks for watching! The tab slot tolerances are taken care of during cutting by setting the kerf value. This provides a good snug fit. The trick however is the variances in the wood thickness, which I learned the hard way in the first build, where one sheet was .7mm too thick. This go around I measure the sheets before buying them using a caliper. The frame is very much true on its own, but I will use jigs when it comes time to sheeting and planking. The fuselage is so long, that it will need to be held in place through that process.
This is awesome. Cant wait to see it completed. Wonder how this would be if it was made of aluminum.
🙌🙌 cheers. Interesting question! Have you ever done a model out of aluminum?
@@RCCAD2VR Nope, but i've seen a giant scale Beaver made completely out of it at the Joe Nall in 08.
That had to have been a sight to see 🤩
Hi Terrance, fantastic vídeo but which Tristar version will be? -500 or the others? I swear I had read it somewhere but I am unable to find it.
I just have 1 question, how do youcreate the wood pieces with the exact holes and dimentions..... i know you got that from crafting it in the software but how did you do that in reality, 3D print ? or by hnad? i just wanna know how its done
Very nice. What's that predicted weight?
Thanks -- TBD on the weight, but it's lighter right now than I thought it would be.
Hi Terrance, has there been any progress on this build? I am dying to see how it turned out. And thanks for making those videos about designing in F360, it really helped me a lot. Michal
Hi Michal, Yes, there is lots of progress. The plane has its 's first wing, with the second under construction. I did publish part 3 yesterday. And Part 4 is in the works. Glad to know the tutorials were able to help you.
great
Thanks :)
Hi Terence, the designing and building series has been great so far. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but how do you design the plans for building that you had on your desk and was following for the build?
I've watched all of your series and am anxiously waiting for the part when the plane building gets beyond the frame works and gets built into one entity and even probably gets to that stage of taking to the air. Are we ever going to see that here on TH-cam ?
When is the next episode coming out? Be quick! I'm looking forward to seeing the finish.
i like it
🙌🙌 awesome!
nice man
Thanks, glad you like it!
@@RCCAD2VRwelcome.. keep going man we love you videos
The encouragement is awesome thanks you!! Getting back on track after a rough couple of months, so very much appreciated! I start getting the production files ready for the tail section tomorrow.
I love your content been in rc for years and love building. You actually helped me get way better at fusion with your videos. First fast question, what will you sheet the fuse and wings with, Balsa, or covering? Thanks a ton so much, and great job
Nice work!! Waited the whole day yersterday until I noticed there is a time difference between Seattle and Munich lol. So what’s the weight of everything right now?
😆 Yeah, those pesky timezones! It didn't help that I was late as well. Wanted to have it done by 3pm PST but it ended up being 8pm. I have not weighed it yet... which reminds me, I need to get a scale. I can say that it's lighter than I thought it would be so far.
@@RCCAD2VR ah, okay. Sounds good! Just hope it stays under 25kg to not collide with any regulations. At least in Germany
The US has a similar restriction but a slight bit more. I think it will be under 20 kilos.
That looks like the perfect all-around work apron. Where did you get it?
Thanks. It was a gift from a close friend of mine to wish me well on this endeavor, not sure where he got it.
I live the rc airplane build the attention to detail is amazing!! I have a question can you tell me the brand of the apron that you are wearing? it looks so nice and comfortable. I would like to get one .
I need another chapter. When do you publish it?
Hi Pablo - I am working on the next one now. It's still 2-3 weeks away. Working hard to get it out as soon as possible. Thanks for the enthusiasm!
Awesome build! What is your projected wing loading?
hey, love the content! Just wondering how are you going to strengthen the fuse more (it just seems very twisty). Ramy Rc reinforces his fuses with carbon and i find that that seems to work on almost every model. Keep up the great work, keen to see the next episode.
Are the 3d printed parts lightweight pla? Nylonx?
Hi Paul, The parts are a combination of CF-30PP, CF Nylon, and The Nose mold placeholder is Tough PLA.
May I know which wood type are you using? Thank you and good luck.
Hey there, thank you 🙂
I'm using Baltic Birch for the framing and also experimenting behind the scenes with poplar.
This is top-shelf work. Would it be possible to get the kit entirely as an stl. file?
I want to 3D print the pieces that are wood.
Thank you, glad you like it! As of right now there is no plan of providing any files for this model.
@@RCCAD2VR thanks for reaching out. So you got to buy the wood etching pieces and plastic parts directly.
The base kit is just the wood frame and it comes with the STL files for all of the 3D printed parts and mold plugs. Plus the build manual and list of fasters/hardware and tools. The next step up is the full kit. You can find the details here www.rccad2vr.com/trijet-kit-pre-order-waitlist
Hi,
That's some Quality work there! May I ask what software did you use to make the assembly book?
Much appreciated Edgar, glad you like! I use Fusion 360's animation feature to create the drawings, then import the PDF files into InDesign to put the manual together. It's a slow process for sure, but it's the best method I've found.
@@RCCAD2VR thank you! InDesign... I would have never guessed :)
You're most welcome. I've used it for well over a decade so it just works for this use case.
I have assembled different types of fighter jets, but it was a bit rough
Building can definitely be challenging, but happy to hear you've built many different types
@@RCCAD2VR how can i give you the models i made. Since when do I want to get acquainted with professional people like you, learn more and enlarge this art?
Nicely done.
Has anyone built one & flown it yet?
Thanks -- Not yet, this is still in the developmental stage. The maiden flight will be the moment of truth. 🤞🤞🤞
How can i get info to make some plane like this? im a totally beginner Im from Argentina
How do I get laser and 3d printing drawings / files
Hey we wait of Part 3
Not too much longer. Had some life detours that delayed me. The next set of videos will be on their way soon. Thanks for staying with the channel! 🤜🤛
Really enjoyed your videos and learned a lot but...
Did you give up on this channel?
Are you still working on this project?
Will you be posting anymore videos?
Hey there. No, I've not given up on the channel. Life, summer, family, and building out a new shop for building airplanes stole a lot of my time, setting me behind schedule. Finally getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for checking in and sticking with the channel 🤜🤛
Nice series but did it ever fly?
What thickness is wood? Is it balsa
looks like your building from the full scale blueprints
Is this a static or Rc model?
Hey there GC 👋, this is going to be an RC aircraft.
