Created a model of a Vans RV-6 homebuilt airplane. Now I can try the different looks to see how they will look.
Even took a photo of my actual RV and then used autocad to apply the graphic, problem is I had to print and then scan to get a photo to show, not the best quality but here it is:
Here are a few photos of different designs tried so far. Some use Dave's suggestion to expand the tail feathers onto the tail. Notice I cut and pasted the paper to give a look at how it will appear with the wings and elevator on.
Here a couple of other tries, Revision 15 is where I'm at now, the first photo is the tail feathers extended and angled with feathers on the Rudder and elevator; Revision 14:
Revision 15:
Paper model showing Revision 15:
As you can see the RV model is a "convertible". The canopy is giving me fits to design, not having the best of luck using 2D skills. Compound curves and bubble shape, way beyong my design abilities...
