come on guys,

bulge and flatten the tyre by all means but please do it right, at the moment it looks like you all slice the bottom of the tyre of, there should be no sharpe cornersat the end of the flat section

but apart from that, beautifull

Hi Vac.

The difference between the upper and lower nacelles is real. It is caused by a bolt-on luggage locker extension. They cut away the rear of the nacelle and attach this fibreglass locker.

And John, if that's all you can find at fault, I'm a happy man!

Every locker extension I've seen also extends the lower nacelle fairing for a smooth surface. Got a side view of that area?

[GrubbyFingers]

Vac! You doubting Thomas!!

Aerodynamics? What da-- aerodynamics!

Mr Smith was so busy being worried about my flat main tyre that he didn't even notice the complete absence of a nosewheel!

This has since been rectified by the management.


And before you comment about the lack of windscreen, this is a UAV. So there.

O.K.-I'll have to accept the dirty nacelle--but bent prop blades???

[JMSmith]

hey GF,

if it ain't there i can't comment on it being right or wrong
just don't push me, or the micrometer is coming out

[GrubbyFingers]

Yes, I'm not sure about the props. The reference I have shows a perpendicular leading edge with a trailing edge that tapers toward the hub. I agree, it looks odd. Anyone got some decent Hartzell prop reference?
