| hjlittman | HJL Models P-36 Hawk | Parked | 17-Nov-21 20:15 |  | | Views : 1731 | | There is another NoCal on the horizon, a Giant Scale Bristol Beaufighter. The one in the picture is the first prototype. It was built with 1/16 stock like my smaller one. It would fly but warped with a warm breath. I built the next one with 3/32" stock. (Video) It's not that much heavier but much easier to handle and transport. The short flight in the video was so that Dave Gee could get a video of it. It's flying on a few hundred turns on single loops of 3/32" rubber. More winds would put it up at the ceiling. On 1/8" rubber, outdoors, it's a different animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVY3ZEZ8gCc |

| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 14-Nov-21 19:47 |  | | Views : 682 | | 3D modeled and printed the spinners and propellers. These are just press fitted at this point and still have some fitting to do, but the results look good. Spinners were done with my FDM printer using Polysmooth filament. The propellers were done with my SLA printer. |
