kensar Posted January 27 Posted January 27 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.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 27 Posted January 27 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?
kensar Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 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? 1
