This project is really looking cool David, I can hardly wait for the final results!

Looking at the tail boom, would it be possible to include a full-size layout or pattern from which to build the structure? I'm thinking not only in terms of paper, but tubing or balsa as well.

Best regards,
Adam

Oh absolutely! The download will come with this schematic included.

Only, I've since changed the landing gear mounts. Will have to update that.

Looking great. I'm glad to hear those are the final colours. It should result in a very attractive build.

Well, most of my work to date has been on the computer. And I tend to get so intensely involved that I forget to stop every once and a while to take screen shots. The cabin interior is completed in SketchUp and the parts are being unfolded now. It was the cabin interior that has held me back for so long. I've never sat in a pilots chair and know little to nothing about flight controls... and I wanted an interior that was at least plausible for a pilot.

Once I get the cabin interior parts unfolded and lain out it Adobe Illustrator, I'll start complete, honest-to-goodness test build of the prototype!

It won't be white tho... I've already colored most of it. : )

Got a lot of work done.. most of it revisions to solve ill-designed components. I've redesigned some of the interior somewhat to allow for easier construction in paper and have completed the instrument cluster, foot pedals and control stick. (All of which I'd completely forgotten about last time I posted pictures.)

My apologies to all... I've taken so long to update only because in my quest to learn how to use Sketchup, I of course, just HAD to try out some of the techniques I was struggling with on other model designs I had waiting in line. And.... well.... I kinda got into them. So much so that I built the SPACE HABITAT and nearly completed the LANTERN VEHICLE before remembering that I'm SUPPOSSED to be working on the Kolywopter!

Ahh well... chalk it up to my short attention span.

I'll start another thread in a bit for the Lantern Vehicle. It's a neat one. I'm excited to get it done.

Anyway, I've now reached the point where I can confidantly and reliably create what I need in sketchup. So things are now speeding up.

Just need to test build the parts sheets now...

My next post will have build pics of the kolywopter prototype.

David

Fantastic! I really like the direction you took on the interior (controls/gauges/etc).

The lantern vehicle is cool too!
