    Thank you. I use a Lenovo Legion which I added Ram to. Also through solidworks you can buy a year subscription to the education version. I am using the option through EAA, but it’s sounding like they are going to the online version of SW. I am currently working on different parts of the plane...

    Thank you. That was all done with Solidworks 2015. I am currently on 2021, but have yet to render anything.

    Another update. I got the last of the fittings for mounting the ribs drawn in for the center section.

    Some more work on the center section. Mainly been adding the dozens of little fittings that attach the ribs to the spars. Also of note, after 6 months of working on this I realized the front rib station 38 5/8 is actually 35 5/8... The 5 was very blurry and looked like an 8.

    I also found a minor issue in the drawings. The front and rear beams end up .024375” and .025” too far forward and rearward respectively of the center section bulkhead ribs. So now fixing a million parts that are slightly misaligned...

    I’ll do a second post for the second update. I got the rest of the stringers drawn up and the fittings that tie them together at station 30 1/4. Each fitting required 2 extrusions and 4 cuts. There are 11 fittings per side. (I mirrored the right hand ones, much easier!). The unpainted stringers...

    After much tedious work, here are a few updates. First, I had to rework the joggle where the center box beam piece intersected with the outer pieces of the center section. The drawing for the plates shows the outer overlapping with no jog. The center section assembly drawing shows detail view...

    I think it was just the die to form the lower shape. The only parts I know of that were shared were the main landing gear and most of the retraction parts. These were also shared by the Wildcat. Edited to correct a spelling correction...

    Just wanted to posted a little interesting detail I figured out in the process of drawing up the Goose. The drawings for the crossfloors from station 1 through 9 all had a note to refer to such and such a die number for the shape from the keel to the chines. This drive me nuts for a while. The...

    Here are some more. I appologize for the poor quality. Something isn’t translating right from saving to jpeg. The box beam alone is rendered. The rest is not as I’m way under on ram requirements. Added: These are all solid parts here. There are a few minor errors/discrepancies.

    Grumman Goose

    Good morning, I’m wondering if anyone has a specific drawing. #12356, which is the rear wing spar for the aileron. I have access to Aircorps library, and that is sadly one of the few that is missing. Edited to add 12355 as well. Also, dimensions for a Sperry Gyropilot mk 3? Thank you, Alex

    Hi all, Just thought I’d share a project I’ve been working on for a number of months. That was a rendering from a couple months ago. Currently I’ve modeled stations 1-3, 9-13, and other little bits here and there. Unfortunately I need a new computer, the one I’m using is too low performance to...
