misterNNL Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I have seen a few scale flat bed truck models on the forums featuring a wind turbine blade as it's load. Does anyone know were the model blades are sourced? Asking for a friend;-)
stitchdup Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 8th scale rc aircraft maybe, or just made their own
misterNNL Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 I was hoping they were either 3D printed or more likely resin cast due to their extreme size. I watched a video yesterday of the production of s 351' (!)long single blade in French factory. That single blade in 1/25 would be three ft long!

misterNNL Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 Just now, LDO said: It would be fourteen feet long in 1/25. Yes it would indeed :-[
LDO Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 That would be one heck of an impressive model. I mean gee, with good cross-section drawings, it would be *somewhat* easy to make. It think it could also be done as a 3D print, in multiple pieces. I say go for it. People would remember it forever.
stitchdup Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 i can get drawings if anyone wants them, most designs have been tested locally before going into full production as all the test equipment is based here.
