F8L Falco (TRANSFERT IN PROGRESS)

Hello everybody,


INTRODUCTION :

This is an unfinished model of the F8L Falco, an italian sport plane.
As an amateur aircraft builder, I've modeled if from hand-drawed blueprints in plan to built it one day. The airframe is near to completion, with only missing empennage, control surfaces and skinning. I will add assemblies bits by bits when it will be modeled.


3D PRINTING :

First, to make it potentially printable I merged each sub-assembly to make bigger parts. Then I reduced size to 1:10 to fit these parts in yours printers (you may have to reduce them more again).
On today's date, models are not very optimized to 3D printing because of tiny details, very thin skins... I'll solve these problems gradually when I will seriously start printing it.
It's a wood plane, so try some wood-like filament to make it realistic.


ASSEMBLY :

I suggest you to search and download F8L falco plueprints to figure better how the plane is made. You will aknowledge distances, s
