    F-82 Twin Mustang. I made one out of foam, using two of your P-51 plans, and designed the center myself. My daughter and I had fun tossing it around during lockdown.

    An Avro Vulcan of course!!! If you're using two servos for the undercarriage you HAVE to make one move slower than the other to be realistic ;)

    A Grumman Goose with retractable gear would be spectacular. Relatively easy starter. Add to that an aircraft which can be amphibious or land on a runway and much fun can be had! Sweet Spitfire and the 3D prices seem reasonable.

    I would love to see a 3D printed flying boat tested off of the water. 3d printing with waterproof plastic seems like the perfect combo for an RC flying boat.

    The duck egg blue on your model used to be painted on the underside of RAF aeroplanes up until the late 1940's or a similar but darker shade all over for the high speed recon late model Spitfires, early spits had one half of the underside black & the other white for recognition purposes,great paint scheme though 😎 👍

    That thing looks sweet. I love their models, they have a free model as well. I'm too scared to 3D print a plane but I feel like if I invested that much time into a build I might be more careful

  • @IamJoeTV
    @IamJoeTV 2 месяца назад

    I have 2 UAV Vtail 3d printed planes. One is LWPLA the other just regular PLA. The LWPLA is 38% lighter, but the PLA plane flys so much more stable. The extra weight didn't impact my stall speed all that much. I fly using Ardupilot with a massive battery pack. So for long range and stable picture or video the PLA is a winner. For acro planes and LOS flying LWPLA is the way to go.

  • @La.máquina.de.los.sueños
    @La.máquina.de.los.sueños 2 месяца назад

    If you want a nicer finish, you could use at least 2 coats of automotive spray paint filer (like Duplicolor), and finish it with fabric spray paint (like Tulip) to get rid of most of these 3D print lines (one get rid of big "steps" and lines, the second finer ones left without completely removing all fine details). It work well on most of my printed stuff (especially resin prints since way less rough than wire prints).

    What a great classic plane. You asked for what other plane we would be interested in seeing. What about a Douglas Skyraider (AKA Vietnam era Sandy) It would be interesting if the plane could be rigged to drop weapons from its wings. This was a plane that came out at the end of WWII and served through Korea and Vietnam.

    Hi Guys, I am Chris in Bulgaria. I have been watching your channel since the days of the star Wars models. I would love to see a Rockwell B1 made. I designed craft when I was a boy and still get creative having just built a model of the Bleriot from parts from the local DIY shop. One thing I noticed in this video and other ones since I make good ones, are replica propellers. You made a MK21 spitfire with a MK1 prop. I liked the blue though. Maybe authentic props make for hard flying, but you guys like the challenge. If you do the Rockwell B1 send me the 3d model and i will make one on my little KP3-mk2 printer. Keep up the quality work, Chris
