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.
Fuselage Forward Section & Nose Cone
Check out the the forward fuselage section design, which includes the landing gear. This is the second phase of the L-1011 Scale Model Build.
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.
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.
Congrats To Young Local Builders On A Successful Maiden Flight!
Watch the Maiden Flight of a 14’ Scratch Built RC Cargo Plane at Marrymoor Park in Redmond Washington.
