Making of a P-51 Mustang 60cm scale
Solidworks is use in this review under education license (I am student) .This model is not destinated to be selled .If you are interrested to make copy of any part of this review, you need to contact me.
The 3 view drawing used to create the model:
Creating the external draw:
Building the fuselage :
Draw of the surface used for the rids :
Beginnig the drawing of the ribs :
Creating the base of the main rib :
Creation of intermediate ribs :
Building the volume (this is still a only onepiece) (+ adding support wing) :
Creating the assembly with rods :
Result of calculating the mass of the fuselage without formwork :
Mass of ribs (2mm): 4.37g
Mass of rods (3x3x1650mm): 2.23g
So 6.60g (these values are entirely theoretical)
Creating the wing :
Drawing the wing :
Adding the fins :
Adding the diedre :
Building the volume of the ribs :
Adiing the rods :
Result of calculating the mass of the wing with formwork: 7g
Preview :
Result of calculating the mass with formwork: 28.55g
Creating the stabilisator :
Stab fini :
Result of calculating the mass of the stabilisator : 2.66g
Theorical model :
Result of calculating the mass of the finish model : 31.6g
Update :
Folowing of problems of bad design choose , there are some modding :
Before :
After :
The mass of the finished model therefore passes 31.6g - 35.9g.
The completeness of data provided in this section are computer (and therefore totally theoretical).
Cutting the templates :
Realizing the fuselage :
Real weight : 17g (without using light balsa)
Realizing the wings :
Real weight : 10g per wing (without using light balsa)
Assembling :
Real weight : 40g (without using light balsa , the motor weight is not include)
