YF-16 memorable take off video
Rainer Hoffmann replied to Martinnfb's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
My Professor of the course on Flight Dynamics at the Technical University of Braunschweig used to show this footage as an example for PIO (Pilot Induced Oscillations) sometime around 1981. And he was full of praise for Phil Ostricher and how he handled that dangerous situation. What I didn't know until now, was that the engine nozzle didn't open when he reduced the thrust. Great video and great interview. -

Lockheed L-049 Constellation
Rainer Hoffmann replied to rafju's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Years ago I did a drawing of a 1049G. Yes, I know, longer fuselage and lots of other differences, but perhaps this helps a little: Probably lots of errors, so beware ... Cheers Rainer -
Hmm ... It says A-319 on the sprue ...

Tom, your styrene stuff is always so crisp and clean. I always need a ton of putty to make it look acceptable ... Cheers Rainer

Here ya go: Note 1: I believe the rivet pattern to be close to the original, however, the number of rivets per line may not be correct. Note 2: Larger diameter circles represent Phillips type fasteners, smaller circles represent actual rivets. Circles in access panels are fasteners, no matter what diameter they are. Note 3: Use at your own risk Edit: I just noticed, that you need to open the images in a new tab or window to download them. Cheers Rainer

Wilco. I don't have access to the files at the moment. But tommorow (CET) I will post them here. Cheers Rainer

Rainer Hoffmann started following F104 rivet drawings?
-
Well, the rivets on the wings were puttied over and therefore all but invisible at least when the aircraft was freshly painted. The rivets on the fuselage and on the vertical stabilizer on the other hand were as visible (or as invisible) as on other fighter aircraft. I can post the rivet pattern of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer (my own research, so probably wrong in many places ... ) if someone is interested. Cheeers Rainer

Thanks for the info, Ben. That is very impressive. 3D printing obviously is maturing fast. Cheers Rainer
-
That engine looks really, really good. Do the parts require a lot of sanding? Cheers Rainer

Rainer Hoffmann replied to Derek B's topic in Works in Progress
Derek, did you ever consider a career in micro surgery??? I guess, it's paid better than model making ... Fantastic work! Cheers Rainer- 516 replies

Great work, as usual, Ben. When will we see the first printed parts? I quickly get impatient, you know ... Cheers Rainer

RAF FG.1 XV571 WILD HARE Phantom Conversion
Rainer Hoffmann replied to Anthony in NZ's topic in Works in Progress
That Spey Phantom is looking spectacular, Anthony. Good to see this build back on the bench. Cheers Rainer -
Great progress, Dan. And that bomb rack is looking busy like hell. Cheers Rainer

With all this 3D-printig stuff going on here I feel like a dinosaur (I still build my models with frames and stringers, spars and ribs and so on ... ), but this is looking very good already and I'll follow this one for sure. Cheers Rainer
