Thorp T-18 Progress

Featured Replies

I've done a lot of remodeling on my T-18 project. As I learn more about using Gmax and PSP I end up going back and improving things...Flight Instruments have been modelled in Gmax for smooth animation, the plane has been painted accurate to the first T-18 built by my Dad, and the interior has been reworked. I'm trying to get it done by the end of Summer.I've updated my website:http://www.members.cox.net/kerr14/t-18Robert

I just tried to look at this link using Internet Explorer and only got a list of what's on the site, not the actual page. It works good using Firefox. Anyway, in case the first link was in fact a dud try this:http://www.members.cox.net/kerr14/t-18.htmRobert

Works fine with Opera as well. Plane looks interesting.Dave

Looking really good! What kind of performance does the plane have? Cheers

The T-18 is a high-performance homebuilt design that first flew in 1963. My version is pretty close right now to typical Thorp numbers. It cruises around 160mph and has an initial rate-of-climb of around 2000ft/min. It is also very tricky to get a good smooth landing due to the stiffness of the landing gear. One of the advantages I have to modeling my Dad's plane is the ability to fly it...which means I really have no excuse to not get it right!Robert
