My building sessions were some sporadic evenings where I would build one bag an evening. Bag 5 was about building the structure around the landing gear ‘arms’ and starting to get the outside look going with the red striping and building upon the delta wing surrounding the mechanism as you can see in Bag 6 […]
Concorde – Fuselage and Front Landing Gear (5-9) Read More »
The Concorde is the world’s first commercial supersonic aircraft allowing commercial passenger travel at supersonic speed up to Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound), near the edge of space. The Concorde was in service from 1976 to 2003. This means the engineering and design of the aircraft was done prior to 3D design rendering

I stumbled into a new hobby, as I watched Steph, my wife, complete adult LEGO sets from the botanical collection, some of which I purchased for her for various occasions. This became a relaxing and enjoyable hobby for her and over the past year my daughter, who just turned 4, has also discovered LEGO. It

Last Sunday Peter came over and we re-orientated ourself to my Aero 3D building project. It has been a long time since last working on it! After discovering where we left off we got the elevator push rod slot made and cut down to size (exciting to use my Dremmel). Took quite a bit of

On Nov. 11th made some more progress. Started with unboxing and getting 3 servos ready. For the two heavy duty control surfaces (elevator & rudder) using HiTech HS-645MG servos and for the throttle that doesn’t undergo the same amount of force a HiTech HS-425BB servo. For putting the control horns on figured out where each

On November 5th, Peter dropped off my fuselage. At the previous session we noticed there was a twist from sitting for so long (uncompleted). In order to fix this, in the featured image, you can see where a support piece was put as well as balsa sheeting glued over the back of the fuselage to

Yesterday, did some more work on the Aero 3D. In the previous session looked at how the fin would go on and discovered I previously chopped off a piece of the trailing edge that I shouldn’t have. I was wondering how the fin would remain stable on the fuselage and this was in part due

Yesterday got the horizontal stabilizer glued. This involved the following steps: Marking where the back of the stab resides on the fuselage when in the appropriate place Using measuring tapes from the trailing outter corners of the wing to the same corresponding place on each half of the stab Making sure to position is such
