Wagoneer81 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Very cool! Missed it, this year but I can tell you a bit about that last picture, the oddball airplane... I know it's a little OT, here but.... it's a wonderful testimony to what you can do with some good scratchbuilding skills.That was built by a friend of mine. He actually built two of them for the Academy of Model Aeronautics, in Muncie, IN. The one you see and one posed in flight. This aircraft is the AeroVironment Helios NASA SolarProject. It was a solar powered, unmanned,high altitude, flying-wing. On August 13, 2001, the prototype Helios set a world altitude record for sustained level flight,reaching 96,863 feet. He vacuformed the wing surfaces and photoetched the wing ribs because the underside of the wings aretransparent. The model is in 1/72 scale and is roughly 41 inches long. The structure is scratchbuilt, the PE was custom etched from his drawings and the solar panel decals were custom printed specifically for the project. Though you might want to know...

Ramcharger Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey, thanks for the multiple shots of my 57 Landspeed car in you photo album from the link. It was cool getting to talk to you for a few minutes at the show. I wish we would have met up earlier and got to hang out and talk models. It was a good show, a little lean on cars, but pretty good nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
