Well the Toon F-14 is done! You can find it on my website http://www.badtothefoam.com/F-14.html I did things a little different this time. Instead of coding the .cnc files I included the SketchUp 8 file. I figured with so many different foams and bits it would be better to let the customer make the ...
Hey that is too cool Mark! I was going to try a JUMBO jet next school break but after the F-14 I'll stick to military jets (you only have to bend up the canopy) I hope this baby flies as good as it glides!
I have the plans for the nose all cut out now I need to cut them out the "old fashion" way... by hand. My PC that runs my PhlatPrinter is DEAD! I forgot how spoiled I was using the PhlatPrinter for my designs now I am feeling the pain lol.
Hi guys, I have been MIA for a long time but I am back... well at least for the month long winter break from school lol. Man the progress everyone has made here is amazing! I wanted to show everyone what I am working on during this short break... Screen Shot 2011-11-29 at 9.52.56 AM.png Screen Shot ...
All Righty all!!! I have completed updating all my plan sets to include .cnc files for the Phlatprinter! All cnc files are coded for the standard 13"x39"x6mm Depron that RCFoam sells and for the stock 1/8th" bit. Also don't forget to enter my "Name My Jet" contest in the con...
Thanks everyone for the encouragement it means a lot to me! I have some news for you all... I am currently working very hard to get .cnc files worked up for all my planes starting with the SR-71 !!! The .cnc files I have now are for different sizes of foam and I want to use the standard 13"X39&...
Crash one way I have used to get big plans into the pc was to lay them on the floor stand on a chair and use my digital camera to take a pic. Once you import the pic into SketchUP you can scale the plans by measuring the real deal and scaling in SketchUP to match. That's a neat looking plane how doe...
Thanks everyone! Yes I used iWeb, it is a very easy program if you like one of their 20 or so templets. I am going to be adding my space shuttle design from my days at RCP and another parkjet once I get done testing it. Stay tuned!!!
Tonight during the contest live show, Mark asked about my SR-71 design. My plans were up on Rcpowers for a long time, until recently when they discontinued my plans. I took the opportunity to pursue my dreams of having my own site, and now my plans are available again (SR-71, F-18, X-20, and F-16) !...
well my baby girl came a month early... she weighed 8lbs 14oz and is 20" long. She is doing well besides a slight heart murmur the doc thinks will heal itself. She kind of cut my time short on this project so when I get home I'll post the SketchUP file for anyone that wants to try to get her to...
Mark I was going to make the rudder higher but you think lower is the way to go? I have no idea how rudders work LOL I never use them unless doing 3d with a store bought plane LOL.
OK its the crack of dawn and I am on my way to the club to hopefully test this plane before the wind picks up and before any other members show up to laugh at me LOL.
