Nikolas: Great design: Get her airborne... but remember in Bob Marley

... no woman no cry ( without flying EDF)

Hi Harpye,
Thanks a lot. Yes my dream is to fly. But I need a lot of help (not that difficult to find) and a lot of funds (very difficult to find). economy.

Nice! What CAD software?

Thanks. That was done in Rhino.

Hi Nicolas

I just saw the new jet you drew, it looks absolutely great.... and man you are the master of Rhion. If you ever come to denmark I will give you a model so you can practice, I mean that!

I'm recently busy with another sort of modelling .... if I could make it ... nano servos would not be any problem anymore!!

for those who are not involved into watchmaking .. ( as I wasn't short time before, too)

It once shall be a complication called Tourbillion invented and patented 1801 by Abraham Louis Brequet - Godfather of watchmaking

Hi Frank,
You 're too kind man, thanks a lot. As for the siren the more I look at it the more I find that something bugs me with the design. I've started with some minor tweaking but I think I'll end up with a major redesign of the whole thing. I want it to be equivalent in grace and beauty with the chimera. My final goal is to design and a final third jet (all with some sort of a "family look"). That will be the Echidna. The "three mean sisters" will be safeguarding the european skies from then on.

I find it fascinating to see what was developed by these craftsmen near 300 yrs ago. And you see what a metal lathe looked like then, or hand-tools or primitive metallurgy. No cad, cnc, lasers. Incredible really.

If you havent watched the TV series or read the book about John Harrison, I'd highly recommend it.

series is on you-tube!

Think I'll have to go for it ... but first I will try to build a table tennis ball trainer for my daughter!!

Maybe, can't remember. Check out the youtube movie though. Its actually very well done. I think you will get all pumped up & make that nice cnc of yours run through the night!

Thank you for the link and the recommendation. Thoroughly enjoyable film, made me stay late up to see it all...

Wish I could - got a lousy bitrate on that film ( first 4 min did last more than one hour ......) ... Think I will go for that book!

PM'd you Harpye. Sorry for the thread sidetrack. I just know when you get into this story we will all benefit by watching as you build this thing on your CNC!

See attached picture of a quad I might build soon. HK electronics, Neu batteries, and Scorpion motors.

It looks rather badass.
