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
Selecting RC Airplane Electronics
See how the L-1011 will be actuated using FrSky Servos and electronics in this plan view.

Video Episode 1 - The L-1011 Build Begins. In this first episode I manufacture and assemble the center fuselage using a laser cutter and 3D printer.
The RC L-1011’s Iconic Tail Takes Shape
It’s taken hours upon hours designing this one of a kind, icon of aviation’s airline industry. The L-1011 tail section has been a real design challenge, with it’s curvatures, S-Duct, body tapers, and stabilator design. Finally have the final shape almost finalized.
