The L-1011 Build Project
Photos & 3D Model Renderings
Welcome to the RC CAD2Vr project renderings and Image gallery. The current project is a scaled model of the L-1011, the iconic TriStar Airliner. As I document the entire process from design to build, I will be adding images here. If you are interested in creating your own radio controlled model, or would like to create 3D models, check out my complete 3D modeling tutorial series using Fusion 360
3D Printed MJF Nylon Wing Mounts
(Animation Videos Included)
For the L-1011 RC Model, I opted to not use the conventional tube mounting method. Instead the structure of the wing mount will more closely resemble a full scale airliner where the spars transfer the weight into the main airframe rather than a tub or rod.
Custom RC Airliner Landing Gear
As the design of the model L-1011 nears completion, figuring out the hardware and placement is part of the finishing details. See all of the renderings and some background on the Oleo Pneumatic Landing gear system design for this model.
The Underbelly of an RC Airliner - Landing Gear
Up close and personal, in this photo blog post I show you some more detailed of the RC L-1011 underbelly and it’s placement of the landing gear.
