Champ RTF

[jazz53]

Does someone have a hobbyzone Champ made?
Or its equivalent?
I tried searching for Champ in swap pages but no results.

What is a Hobbyzone Champ? Can you post a 3-view drawing?

 

[jazz53]

It does kind of look like a J-3 Cub.
It is one of the most popular/recommended planes for training.
I am surprised that there is not a version here, seeing as a lot of people use RF for training purposes.

Provide some 3-views. Maybe you'll pique a modeler's interest.

I guess I could do this one while I am resting, hehe

Yep,thats it,the plane was just released,thats probably why it is not on here yet,it's just like parkzone's other simple micros(Ironicly they released a J3 cub around the same time, different everything but the electronics,identical looking...lol)
The cool thing is that it has the same electronics as PZ's planes but is only 89$ for a full RTF 3ch lipo powered DSM2 Micro.

Got some of the fuse done this afternoon.

Working off a 1-view?

The gear is done. These parts are so small, I had to make them three times to big, then scale them back.

 

[flexible]

Spinner and ~CS_ENGINE done, Rudder and ELEVATOR horns and linkage done.

 

[jeffpn]

If that linkage is animated, I want a tute!!!

Love it. It looks like my Micro Citabira. I love flying it in my front yard chasing my neighbor grand kids around.

 

[flexible]

Got the Batt ready to paint. I'll be off to the wings and stab to maro. I think all the tiny stuff is done.
A note, the linkage is made from one object.

 

[flexible]

Back end is finished. Just like the wing, if I havent missed something.

 

[flexible]

Wing is done, now to go over every thing.

Working off a 1-view?

This actually brings a topic to light which should be of interest to others. While I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I was shown how to work off of a single 3/4 view drawing and create fairly accurate 3 views by using some geometry and drafting techniques. It's been a long time since I went over any of that stuff, but I'm sure I would have notes laying around somewhere since I'm one of the world's worst pack rats.

It may take a good couple of years to find any notes, but considering there is a way to do this, the internet may have instructions somewhere on how to do it. The instructor that showed me how to do this was Scott Rittinger. He is awesome at what he does.

The 3D model is finished, ready to Map.

Shouldn't the wings be the same length?????

BOZO!

Hey, what do you expect from a 1-View?
