leccyflyer Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The one Ron linked to worked well for my wee Mini Edge 3D - he lost some of the finer hair at that scale but should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Just looking at the 'sliced' model at the required size, there will be problems with the hair and the headset head band but apart from that it looks OK (printed at high resolution).

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I have modified the one on the right, cut him down so now I have a (rubbish ) pilot, maybe a bit of red paint to give him some shoulders,,, for some silly raison all gone sideways, bear with me,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Yes in the day weight was the enemy and a few of his experimental ones like his Bar fli didn't have cockpits,,, but a cockpit without a pilot,,,? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Today a plane without a pilot is a drone, anyway, who's going to land it when the radio battery goes flat ?.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
