Kyle Gardner Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Hi All, new to this site. I have just started building my Hornet STOL in Tasmania. All is going well so far (apart from the lock down !!!). If anybody wants to follow along with the build I have started a blog here Hornet Build Blog with a YouTube chanel as well. 11
Mike Gearon Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Checked the blog. Very cool. Will enjoy watching your progress. 1
Marty_d Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Welcome Kyle! Jeez you move quick. Lot of progress in only a couple of months. 1
Mike Gearon Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Is the motor in your CAD a download? I work in Solidworks. Wouldn’t want to be drawing that up. Even a rough non spec would be 20 hours.
pylon500 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the site, we have a building blog/discussion page further down; https://www.recreationalflying.com/forums/aircraft-building-and-design-discussion.55/ (off to have a look...) ... And I'm back. Hmm, the fish eye lens photo of the motor makes it look HUGE. Edited April 15, 2020 by pylon500 1
Kyle Gardner Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 Is the motor in your CAD a download? I work in Solidworks. Wouldn’t want to be drawing that up. Even a rough non spec would be 20 hours. The 3D model of the engine was sent to me from Aeromomentum. I am currently designing an engine mount and cowling within Fusion360. Decided to keep going and build the whole plane as one day I might build a Xplane model for the simulator. I am building the model similar to the real build. 1
planedriver Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 . This will be another interesting build to follow. Certainly looks like you are off to a great start. Keep the enthusiasm going, and it looks like Dad is enjoying it too because he's looking forward to a ride.. 2
Kyle Gardner Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 Making good progress. It has been exactly 12 months since we have started. Latest video is here 2
