Pilatus PC-7 / PC-9

What a pretty little airplane!

Maybe you should tweak the leading edge of the exhaust shadow since the curved exhaust pipe casts a curved shadow on the fuselage.

That is actually from the exact same picture I copied the current shape from I tried using the complete shape as a shadow but it looked odd. I used the path I made as a copy of the shadow to create a selection and filled it with a gradient away from the exhaust towards the furthest point of the shadow.

The photo certainly strikes the onlooker as the strangest shadow seen on an airplane and detracts from the overal image! Maybe this is the classic case for which BH says "It's all in the eye of the artist and what makes him happy!!"

Part of the reason for my "Sometimes reality doesn't look good in profile" comment in the same thread, it looked very confusing, almost like the plane was wearing a pair of antlers

Another day done, I'd say we are making stirling progress!

Hallo,

sees completely madly out with all the shade and effects. Does the opinion of the bearing area remain now in such a way or is only one draft? I find the Wing Root (Tragflächenwurzel) and also the wing tip edge still capable of improvement
sieht ganz toll aus mit all den Schatten und Effekten. Bleibt die Ansicht der Tragfläche nun so oder ist das nur ein Entwurf?
Ich finde nämlich die Tragflächenwurzel und auch den Randbogen noch verbesserungsfähig.

HJ,

I was looking at the wing shape just now, I have copied the outline of the wing directly from the photograph so that should be correct. Could it be that the look is distorted because the wingtips are a bit concave? I haven't draw this yet but perhaps that would make it look a lot better once that is done. The inner part of the wing is missing completely at the moment.

Hallo Suaph,

orientiere dich an der Zeichnung aus Post 7 oder an meiner PC-9 Zeichnung.

Am Randbogen wird die Form ja vorgegeben durch die Kontur der Flächendraufsicht bzw. des Tragflächenprofils. Ist bei PC-7 und PC-9 mehr oder weniger identisch.

Sorry, ich kann das nicht im englischen formulieren

[Espenlaub]

nochmals das Randbogenprofil

Hans ich denke das die "normaler" wingtip die wir auf deine bilder sehen typisch ist fur den M / Astra weill ich auf den normaller PC-7 eine anderem eindteil sehe. Den wingtip is dan nach innen gebogen an der unterseite. Guck mall auf den bilder die ich gelinkt habe hierunter:

picture two

Ich denk das die "Source of confussion" ist
