Any updates to the Rascal Forty lately?

Hasn't been, won't be, can't be any more models from me. Here's a link to a post a while back briefly explaining why. I'd loved to have been able to atleast save that file / progress and send it to someone to finish it....but all was lost.

Okay.....

Things have started to settle down for me a bit and I think I want to get back into RC, both in the Virtual world and in Real Life. In RL I want a Rascal 110 as the next plane I buy, so with Dane's permission/blessing, I'd like to proceed with doing one for RF. Kmot can then do an AV to scale it down to the 40 size.

Woo hoo! Doug's back!

And kill the fatted calf!!

Doug, you certainly have my permission.....not that you needed it!

At the time of the total loss of my computer / files, I was really bummed out about the loss of this project. I had put a lot of work into it, and really enjoyed creating all the internal structures that make this plane so distinct.

On several of my previous big modeling projects, I had at least saved the progress onto an external jump drive from time to time. Obviously I forgot to do that with this project.....tack that up to "getting back into the modeling groove" and just overlooking that important step. If I would of had any thing saved, I would have been more than happy to share it with you to give you a "head start"

I look forward to watching you tackle the project!

Thanks Dane, I haven't decided how I want to model the internals for the cockpit on this one. The wings are pretty straight forward with solid ribs.

Just getting started. Got the fuselage roughed out, but mostly I've been working on front panel section and wing braces that will be visible through the windshield.

Alright!!

Welcome back. I loved your Pete n' Poke. I'll be looking forward to this one.

Starting when?

[dhk79]

Cockpit structure done. I plan on rounding window cutouts a bit more after I see how the poly count goes with the rest of the internal structure.

[dhk79]

The internals for the Fuselage look to be about 1000 polys so far.

Skin's taking shape.
