I had already written a few times that I was stuck with the wings, especially the control of the flaps, so I started doing other things to reset, including the LEGO, but also drawing, working on my "new engine Well, lots of other things that take time too. I now leave the wings for what they are and have started rebuilding the cockpit. Well, with me everything has to be done in 3 times I believe, but now in the digital form and 3D printer.
The drawing takes a lot of time because you don't have any dimensional sketches, so make everything based on feeling and then you are sometimes wrong, so I first draw the various parts separately and then assemble them digitally and then you sometimes come surprises and you can go back to the digital drawing board. Then printing the piece, the printer didn't feel like it, so find out why and replace a few things, but you have to wait for that. If you can finally print, it turns out that parts that looked reasonably sturdy on the screen are still too thin in practice.......................... .....yes, you probably guessed it.........back to the digital drawing board. But oh well, you also learn a lot from it, anyway thinking in steps ahead, the skill in drawing, although that remains in beginner mode with me and solving mistakes or decisions.
Okay, just a few pictures of the wing flaps
And here's the construction drawing from the Internet, unfortunately I lost the source
The red markings are the pivot points as shown on the drawing at the bottom, but you can see, through the fiddling, searching for the right movement and place, sometimes something comes loose or something started to wring and I had to cut it loose.... ..................why should I make it move again?......................... ..good question
Then just the parts for the cockpit where you see the foot pedals for the rudder and the base where they have to go, furthermore a cockpit floor and the construction for moving the flaps and elevator via the control stick. Also made a new chair
Yep, there are also a few spare parts ready, just in case something breaks again
