This is my first complete model design using Fusion 360.  I will 3D print it at some point in the near future when I have a few designs to print.  It is a Schreder HP-14 sailplane that was Richard Schreder's first design as a homebuilt kit.  Schreder won 3 national soaring championships and represented the US in multiple world soaring championships.  This design was also built by Slingsby in the UK (but only 3 examples before the factory burned down).  In addition to the original V tail, Slingsby also designed their own V tail and a cruciform tail design, and other builders made T tail versions.  This will be the 12th and 13th model in my collection of 1/48 sailplanes.

Way cool.  :)

I spent several years off-and-on doing modifications and structural repairs on a variety of European sailplanes...Schleicher, Grob, DG, etc.

Any chance you have a DG-400 file?

I don't have any other sailplane files - I'm just getting started in designing and I'm interested in 'classic' sailplanes (approx 1945 - 1970 era).  There is a designer on 3DCults named 3DDAVEJ who has several modern ships (glass slippers), including a DG-100 and DG-500.

I haven't found any websites or forums that feature static models of sailplanes, only RC.  Know of any?
