Re: 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri scratchbuild mode

After digitally building the Fl-282 Kolibri cutaway 3D model using only mouse clicks, I saved it as an STL - STereoLithography format binary file and forward it on the 3D replicator to start generating the individual parts of the actual scale model. Once again, I used best available tools & plastic ...

Re: 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri scratchbuild mode

Approx 50% of the components are copied & pasted from the already existing full fuselage version and (lucky me) I did not had to design everything from the start. For example, the complex of intermeshing rotor gearbox, the 7-cylinders radial engine, the 24° angled rotor heads etc. On the other hand,...

Re: 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri scratchbuild mode

CHAPTER X - Parallel build challenge? Accepted When I started this project almost two years ago, I had in mind to also present the “cutaway” model kit version step-by-step WIP, as soon as the “full fuselage” model kit building would have been completed. Actually, both versions already built multipl...

Re: 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri scratchbuild mode

Steering of the Fl-282 was achieved by a combination of the rudder and differential collective pitch change on the two rotors, but only the rudder could give steering during autorotation since collective pitch was then ineffective (another reason for the large rudder area). Rudder fin (of very gener...

Re: 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri scratchbuild mode

The first two production model kits under 1/18 scale, were 3D designed such way to have the seatbelts & buckles embossed on the crew seat cushions - a tactic that later altered, since customers mostly prefered to add their own harness or leave the miniature helicopter free of straps webbing. For thi...
