I start compeeting in F3A nordic class in year 2002 and this one was my third competition, which was held in my home field. I am still practicing at the same field. I was flying surprising well, of course there is lot of problems with accuracy and specially with aileron control, maneuvers feels bit small. I see that my skills have improved since those days. My model was Super Desire, scratch bu...
Beautiful job , but if you paint in moulds save a lot of wheight and time
Hi! Great job, very neat and meticulous! I have a few questions, please answer them. Why didn’t you paint the model in the mold? You could have gotten an excellent surface and color. I am sure that gliders are painted in the mold, maybe it's different for F3A. What did you coat the mold with after milling? First epoxy resin(?), and then something green, what is it? Thanks!
Fabtastic!!❤
5k euros ully painted guys. amazing built quality tho.
your work is breathtaking, its just amazing wow.. Well Done. i have a few questions if you dont mind me asking and it would help me a lot if you do, 1. after you CNC the part what was that thing you brushed on the surface ? 2. what was the Blue color that came out of nowhere on the surface hehe 3. and how was it sooooo smooth man how did it became so clean and nice, no matter what i do my molds never comes off as clean as yours
Thanks. After first machining, I brushed epoxy on it. Then final machining. After white primer there is 2k acrylic paint. Sanding make it smooth lol😃
Epic!!
How do you get the mdf not to warp when you apply what I assume is epoxy or polyester resin? I just cut a thin sheet and after I applied resin it cupped upwards quite badly. I was using 0.75” mdf and cutting maybe half of that at the wing root.
Very well done mate.... Can you please let me know what you used to cover the wood surface(the green layer)
Is that gel coat?
It is normal 2k acrylic paint
Perfect job
perfect work of art!! What's the material about the ribs?
Thanks! Ribs are 3mm PVC foam(Airex) and 105g glass on both sides
Very interesting.
Outstanding work, why don't you convert it into a 3D file so that it can be printed in 3D so you can get people to fly F3A those who can't afford the costs of an F3A, just a idea , best regards.
Please if you make more videos change the light from the beginning video that flickering is very annoying. Otherwise great work and video.
Tässä on nyt yritystä...missäpäin Suomea ?
Kiitoksia! Keski-Pohjanmaalla
FA N T A S T I C !!!
When starting the video, I noticed the wing placement seems to be too much forward... just wanted to know, it is designed to stall bottom wing first or is it the top wing?
How do you go from machined foam to glossy finish in the mold?
Чудова робота.
Großes Kino echt cool
That "plane" looks like a fish with dragonfly wings. It's not a model of anything that looks like a real airplane. With all that great technology, you should make something that's pleasing to look at..
Very nice manufacture. Why a biplane though, isn't that both a worse performer and harder to make
Mind blowing.
Excellent craftmanship!
I'm impressed by your skill on CNC jobs! Can you share more of the finishing technic? I saw you seem to apply some epoxy resin bebore finishing pass, isn't it? And is the last coat automotive paint, or tool gelcoat?
IMHO - While this is a FANTASTIC build and KUDOs to the builder, fliers like myself who rather spend our time flying, an ARF and/or PNP F3A/Pattern plane will do. There are a few ARF F3A/Pattern planes out there and since there are a few distributors who are now selling PNP BALSA AEROBATIC planes, the few F3A/Pattern plane distributors MUST follow them and offer PNP BALSA F3A/Pattern planes to us fliers. The distributors who are selling the AEROBATIC PNP BALSA planes - which BTW you can do the F3A/Pattern maneuvers - sell out of these planes VERY FAST and are OUT OF STOCK most of the time until they get another shipment from China - that tells anyone how popular the PNP BALSA AEROBATIC planes are and those type of planes are creating an interest in the RC plane hobby just like the ARF did YEARS ago!!! - IMHO
Wow! That is the best CNC and construction technique I’ve seen. The cutter used on the molded fuselage and other surfaces is tiny. Hopefully you can work out the difficulties in performance with more analysis and time.
Beautiful!!!! Thank you so much!!
beautiful work. id love to see more of it. did you design the cnc machine or is it off the shelf? thanks!
Thanks! I have two cnc routers. Both are own design. Most of the parts I ordered from www.sorotec.de/shop/ Spindles and VFD are from China
WoW!!!
Wau! Nuista työkaluista vois olla jo vähän kateellinen. Osaat myös selvästi käyttää niitä 😅 Upeeta jälkee kyllä. Huomaa että tuo on huolellisesti suunniteltu. Toivottavasti saat koneen lentämään pienillä viilauksilla. Jatko kiinnostais myös kunhan homma edistyy
The CNC work is impressive but your CAD skills are far more impressive. Beautiful plane, thanks for sharing the process.
Excellent work and perfect documented! Thank you very much for sharing! To cut the laminated Fuse I have seen a bit expander inserted in the spindle. Can you give me a link where to buy it? For milling fuselage moulds the most bits are not long enough and I could not find a expander for 1/4" bits.
Wow, great use of the cnc and tool paths, especially when machining all of your features in the fuselage using the mold as a fixture!
No big deal, I used to watch twin engine Varsity's training in the early sixties with one engine feathered.
How did you fasten the servi inside the wing?
A seminar for precision building and 5star craftmanship.Thank you for sharing!
Great detail of an impressive build process. Could easily be a series of short videos highlighting particular steps of the process. Amazing craftsmanship. Most great designs are interactions, rarely is the first interaction have many perfect design features. Any interaction is just an example of the current lessons applied in an ongoing learning process.
Your cad/cam and model building skills are very impressive. Sorry your efforts didn’t quite work out like you had hoped.
Well, if you screw up the aerodynamics and basic weight and balance, no amount of fancy equipment and software will save the day. This is proof of why one should always do a sloppy prototype before moving to production grade processes.
Yes, I always need to try if I screw up everything or is ir success, many times its hard to know in advance. This was quickly and cheaply made prototype not for production. Also wanted to try few new production methods
Must be nice to be rich!
It must suck to be a jealous prick.
Yes. I do this kind of thing as my full time job, so its not only hobby. Most of my machines and workshop is own design and self made from cheap stuff you can find from internet.
Fantasic work !
awesome)
Awesome clean build 🔥. Could you share the foam core thickness you’re using? Also, I’m curious about how you align your model for control surface hinges and hatch cutting on the CNC. Your work is truly impressive, and I’d love to see more !.
Thanks! Normally I use 1,5mm Airex core, but this fuselage I used 2mm. Its super stiff, but heavy. I think 1,5mm is best choice for F3A. Moulds have aligment pin holes, by using those its very simple to align it. I have milled matching holes to cnc table. CNC have homing switches, so it can calibrate it self and always know where my molds/jigs are located
Thank you for sharing the information. Your work is truly awesome . I’m looking forward to seeing more videos like this.
@@nulas87 I have one more question about the wing lay-up. Are you using any layer on top of the foam core for sandwiching, or are there just two layers?
There is 50g glassfibre on both side of the Airex core
@@nulas87 Thank you for the clarification and quick reply. By the initial look I thought it was only the foam.
Many Thanks for posting video
would it be possible to get in touch re you cnc's, I am looking to build another and have a few questions after seeing your's , they are very nice
impressive and professional work.. can you tell me what program do you use to use the CNC on the 3D model? I only use it for 2D cutting work but I would like to learn to work on mold models like you.
Thanks! I use Mastercam. I am sure there is many free or much cheaper options as well. Result is the same.
@@nulas87 I'll try to take a look. Really congratulations for your work and the great constructive cleanliness
I noticed your exceptional set of equipment and was amazed... you don't seem like a simple enthusiast... do you do it for work? Would you then do me the courtesy of passing me the link to purchase that beautiful used product to disguise the model? I use my cnc as a plotter.
I do this as my full time job, so its not only hobby. Masking film is Aslan S79 www.spandex.fi/aslan-s79-1-25-x-50m-paintmask-as79125.html

Beautiful work !
