February 22, 200422 yr Hi,Well I thought I would finally get on the aircraft designing side of things.I have decided to do a Shorts Skyvan, I seem to like the ugly planes ;), I plan to do a good model, 2D panel and VC, with custom gauges.Here are a couple of shots of "so far", please note that this is very,very early stages of design, but I just wanted people to see this Skyvan.ThanksDan.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/64178.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/64179.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/64180.jpg
February 22, 200422 yr Hi,Thanks for the nice comment, although I am a 3D CAD modeller (bottles and containers etc) by trade, it sure is different to model planes, I seem to be so much more critical of this model that my work models LOL.This first version has hit the scrap bin already as there are a few things I dont like about it, so I start again ;).Looks like it will be a long road ahead LOL ;).CheersDan.
February 23, 200422 yr Commercial Member HA HA.. I love the Shorts! Used to fly out of Allentown PA and when ATC would ask if we could see the incoming shorts 360s we would always say "I got the box" ;-).Lookin good so far!Vinwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg Vin Scimone Precision Manuals Development Group www.precisionmanuals.com
February 23, 200422 yr Hi,Well, I totally dumped the first "effort" LOL, so far the fuselage seems to be coming on fairly well, me thinks I am gonna need some help sooner or later ;).CheersDan.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/64420.jpg
