[Wayne Little]

He does awesome work and it's a pleasure to see it take shape!

Thank you very much for your many kind comments Aaron, David, Wheels, Crimea River, Gnomey, Thor, Fherot (Let me say "Hello!") and Wayne!
I'm struggling to understand the control units structure

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have faith you will get it figured out soon. You always do.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Aaron for your trust on me
It takes time but a lot of fun for me to understand the message from the past.
Thanks friends for your patience too!

 

[Fherot]

I've always found Japanese aircraft to be beautiful and designed with great care (like most things Japanese). The book you found on this plane looks to also be done in great detail and a perfect source.

I am still struggling to gather drawings, technical dimensions etc on the Russian La-7 before I start on the 2D schematics first.

Eventually I need to relearn 3D again and following your progress helps me plan out my project a great deal.

Maybe I should have started with a simpler biplane...

 

[Shinpachi]

Hello again and Welcome to this forum, Fherot!
I think 3D CGI is almost same as scratch build of scale model. If no perfect drawings, 80% of your working time will be occupied by researching work but that is enjoyable because you can build a set of new drawings!
Please let me look forward to your future work. Thanks!

Rear seat control stick.

It's so much easier seeing that instead of just looking at the drawing. Beautiful job my friend!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It's pleasing to the eye isn't David? Beautiful work Shinpachi. See, I knew you would figure it out.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sure did figure it out, looks real nice!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank You David, Aaron and Wayne for your encouraging comments.
Making the cockpit now looks much easier.

Front and rear control sticks.
Foot pedals will be added soon.

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent work so far shinpachi!

Front rudder pedal for the K5Y.
Second image shows a Zero fighter's for comparison.
Thanks

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Interesting, I wonder why the Zero's pedals were on a angle? Excellent image and detail Shinpachi.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That is an interesting question, beautiful work though!

 

[Shinpachi]

Good question, Aaron and David
I only guess the Zero's brake and rudder required more foot power than a trainer

 

[Wayne Little]

both of the usual excellent standard...

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Wayne

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far shinpachi!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Gnomey
Each ASSY makes sense now.

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far shinpachi!
