30" Bf109 A thru D--available at Manzano Laserworks
There's alot of 109's around the RC scene, but it seems that the later models get all of the attention. I've always thought that the earlier marks looked cleaner and more agressive (so did Adolf Galland). Also, the earlier squared off planform is a little easer to build, so here we go.
The goal is to work up another 30" stick-and-tissue type design that covers the basics of the early models. The differences between the A thru D models are pretty subtle, but the E diverged significantly in the appearance of its collection of radiators and scoops. By vac forming scoops for each I'm hoping to kill all these early birds with one stone. Update: this build is now finished and the 109 flew great. Everything has been released to Charlie at Manzano. In the end, I elected not to include vac-formed scoops for the Emil as they are too easy to fab from balsa, but the A-D chin scoop is included. Here's the build thread: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1348690 Shortkit available from Manzano Laser Works: http://manzanolaser.com/Kohlmann_bymfg_55-0-1.html |

Solidworks designs
Hi Longhorne,
I found your build thread on the Ki-84 through the Manazo laser site, and I was surprised to see that you designed the airplanes with Solidworks. I'm new to RC (I just converted a balsa Guillow's fw-190 to RC), but I've done some CAD stuff for the last couple of years (Solidworks, CATIA). However, I've always been unable to make anything as complex as an airplane that involves surfacing. I was wondering if you might be willing to share an example solidworks file of any airplane design so that I might see how you made it? Thanks, Andrew |

Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the delay--been away from the computer for a bit. The files I have have too many dependencies but I can do you one better than sending you a file of mine. My buddy Dean (Roscoedude) is a great SolidWorks resource and he has put together quite a tutorial here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1227712 Check that out and if afterwards you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me and we'll see if we can get you started. Its really not that difficult once you sort out a strategy. You can PM me if you prefer. Take care, Paul |
