I, as part of my university degree…BEng (Hons) Aerospace technology was part of a group developing a glider.
Unfortunately for some bizzare reason the uni decided that they should launch from what was practically speaking, a slingshot. Sadly the models did nothing but stall upon launch!

Anyone else out there “scratch building”? Here is my hangar full so far, guess I’m going to need a bigger hangar!

I built plastic many years ago, dabbled with balsa and paper a bit, Now, I don’t get my hands covered with paint, glue, cuts…..digital is my toy today.
The 3-d package I use, Softimage 3-D is not compatible with any of the sims as far as I know, I just do illustrations. Here is a little one I just did, not quite done with the A/C, just slapped it into a revetment, a little Photoshop time and there it is.
I had been working on the Glad for some time and just stumbled across the Malta Movie, those guys know their stuff. A few things I would want to mess with myself, but they got a LOT done very well!
