Cool! I'll be watching this one.

[dansls1]

I'd never heard of this one - but it's an interesting looking plane ;)

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
billy.leliveld: thank you! :)
dansls1: I like little-know or prototype of aircraft or gliders (sometimes very strange). :) Of course sometimes are problems with documentation and often I must guess many things or even improvise (for example I can`t found any picture of interior of pilot`s cabin of this glider) but I like such aviation archaeology. :)

Ok, next part.

Best regards.

Very interesting Krzychu74. Looks very promising.

Just curious, what software are you using to design ?

[Dragos]

Very interesting indeed this Eastern European project , altrough I'm still waiting another Eastern European airplane that you are designing... :D:D:D

And it is the wonderful designers of "aviation archaeology" that give us
so many cool models that the modellers of plastic kits will never enjoy!

Thank You

Hello!
Alcides: thank you! :) I use Rhino v.4 (design and unroll of parts) and Corel 12 (applying colour, doing the instruction ect.)
Dragos: thanks! :) I remember about S.E.T 7 Kd but first I think do it in 1:50. What do you think about it?
Texman: thank you! :)

Ok, back to the work. I added first part of wings and I mended a bit of a fuselage.

Best regards.

[Dragos]

I like models in 1:50

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
Ok Dragos I`ll remeber about you when S.E.T. will be ready. :)

Now Ikarus looks like.... the bat? :)

Best regards.

It's a strange looking bird, it looks a bit like a Ekranoplan, was it designed to be a WIG (Wing In Ground effect) ?
You must be working from these;

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
billy.leliveld: yes, this is drawing which I use. I don't know whether it was ekranoplan (in the description which I gave at the beginning has nothing to this topic) but I suppose, that not. I think it was a glider only in very untypical configuration.

Next part: gear ect...

Best regards.

This is a rare bird, indeed!

[dansls1]

You know, something about this plane makes me want to eventually see if I could make one that flies / glides...

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
boosed: thank you very much. I`re right, it is very rare bird. :)
dansls1: thank you. :)

Ikarus is ready and now wait for test build by my colleague Piotter which test my previous models (Ponnier, Mitsubishi Ka-8).
Model has 34 numbered parts on 3 sheets with parts and one sheet with instruction.
I hope soon I`ll show photos from test building.

Best regards.

That is one strange airplane!

It's looks like something Jurasic Park and Burt Ruttan collaberated together on! :eek:

But you........... I've got to have it!
