Thanks Fabrice  :D

Yep, short kit is on the pipeline for that one  :D
Sometimes next year, or this year if we get lucky.
Hope to have the plan done by the end of the month. We'll see, still lots of work, but I have finally setup my office at home, so that might speed up the plan drawing!  :D

Hey Bill,

I'm using Turbocad  :D
V6.5 used to be free (can still be found on the ternet).
Version now is 17 I think, but I only use the basic tools.

Still trying to learn Solidworks  :!:  :!:


I have a version of TurboCad at home. Need to check whch one and start teaching myself to use it!!!

Looks good Fred. Where did you get Soildworks from. I want to learn how to use it as well but the software is very expensive.

Hey Alan,

You can get a Student edition, if you know one  :D  for (much) cheaper (wife is a teacher  :P ).
But I think the licence is limited in time, but that allow you to train with the software before spending the big money (you get a discount with the student version). So will see when the licence expire.

Otherwise, Dassault do a free version of a CAD program (They also do Solidworks), but I don't know if that cad do the 3d stuff things.

You can also have a look at Rhino 3D, much cheaper than Solidworks!

Hi Fred
What happened to your project ? Did it fly ?
My wife flew a Kranich last summer.It was from AP Models
and was 3,7m...
Flew very well.

Hi Daniel, Conny

Sorry for the late reply, crazy week(s)!  :!:  :!:
No real progress, I have a look at the plan from time to time. Wings need to be done, fuselage looks 90% completed.
Need days that last 48 hours!  :!:  :!:

I finish the Grunau, and this one will certainly jump up in the queue. That's the plan anyway  :?

Hey Conny  :D
I hope you have a supply of tea, as the wait can be long!
Haven't touched the fuselage since the last time. Just did a bit more work on the wings and that's it so far  :oops:
