Arnoux - Le Stablavion Flying Wing

**jagolden01** · #1 05-30-2009, 04:21 PM

It's been quite some time since I worked out any design, so I thought I take on a fairly simple one.

I've had reference for this flying wing for 8 months or so. I came across the reference from another recent/current thread on flying wings so I thought I'd give it a go.

I have not found a lot of reference so if anyone has any links, let me know.

Wish me luck!

Hey Jag, I don't have any idea what this might turn into. Do you have a photo or a link or something to give us a tie in to your work? And it goes without saying that I'm looking forward to your progress.

Here's the only photo I have of it.
Also have 2 good 3-views.

Did you get these? From here;

Billy, the Stablavion - and hey, I'll take any interest in the project. I think the original reference came from that site and another that is linked to it.

The current mention came on the Zealot group, that's what returned me to the design.

Billy, thanks for the other site!

Have made some progress. I will need to adjust some of the graphics, but overall am pleased with it so far.

At this point I'm still creating parts and as I add them it will help me determine a build process and discover things not yet thought out.

I also have not decided the scale. It will probably be 1:24.

I skinned the bottom of the fuselage.
In the second photo the excess width can be seen extending beyond the frame.
Just a quick shave and it's gone.

Also, the ribs across the top and bottom were "plasticized" using CA glue.

Looking very good - the bracing wires printed on the interior are a nice touch. I think that 1:24 is probably the way to go on a project like this.
