I can answer question one for you. The offsetsrf command mentioned by me a few posts earlier in this thread works well. All you have to do is select the surface to offset the distance to be offest and the direction(inside or outside the existing surface). As for question 2 I think what Nobi...

extendsrf command Just found another cool command. It is the extendsrf command and it extends surfaces! The zebra command also looks interesting but I haven't had time to fiddle with it yet. Every time I find a new way of doing things it opens up new possibilities and means I have to...

I'm glad the model seems to meet the approval of all the beta builders I've heard from. One of the reasons I haven't finished yet is that I have been improving the model in various ways. One example is the stub wings. On the one I sent to the beta builders the trailing edge corner was square...

Just found a new tool that I love. Perhaps in Tim's tutorial it's mentioned, certainly it's a close to relative the offset command is but the offsetsrf command is totally awesome! I was getting ready to call it quits on the cockpit of my Airwolf model cause I didn't want the hassle of making...

I have been working on it fairly constant but not very fast lately. The weapons are now completed and at silverw's request the cockpit is underway and perhaps 75% done. I have to admit my enthusiasm for this project is waning. I'm considering right now just finishing it without the cockpit(or...

Real cool stuff!

Airwolf is getting teeth Being the incurable perfectionist that I am I couldn't resist the ever present temptation of designing the guns and rocket launcher for the model( How can Airwolf be Airwolf without any weapons?). The biggest problem I face is designing the tiny little gun barrels...

I don't know if this is the same question or not but can you buy an upgrade (Rhino 3.0 to 4.0) instead of the whole works?

Okay I beleive that I have sent the revisions to all the Beta Builders. If you didn't get them holler. I didn't send instructions so I'll give them here. As you may have noticed some parts got relabled. Like before these parts need to be laminated on thicker cardstock F1 is the spine of...

I was going to send out a questionaire about the build and what you guys thought of the model but I'm too lazy for that. If you guys could just send me your evaluation of the model(or post it here) specifically what needs to be fixed or iimproved I would appreciate it. I have designed the...

Thank you for taking the time to build it. Just one note though. The arms that I used to be part of m6 before the revisions are supposed to go on top of the hub not the underside as you have them. I know you think the nose wheel needs some additional strength but what about the mains? Will...

One thing that may serve to make the whole thing stronger is the fact that the hydraulic cylinder on the nose gear is substantially thicker than on the mains. For some reason in all the studying of the nose gear prior to designing it I thought it was essentially the same as the mains just...

You may be right Bill but I think there is still some confusion here. Lets try numbering the parts for the nose gear. In the last set of pictures that you posted we'll use the one with all the parts of the nose gear layed out and start in the upper left corner. The cylinder is #1(the...

One thing for sure that needs fixing is the instructions.

Unfortunately you put it together wrong. Hopefully these two images will clarify things. As you can see the nose gear is practically identical to the mains except that I cut off the top of it. If one were to build this model as a "flying" model the gears could be built retracted. Since the...

Okay original it is unless the rest of the test builders say otherwise(that means we want to hear from you). Just a question Bill; Is the picture on the right your final assembly of the nose gear? Meaning is it already glued?

Thanks Bow. I guess we'll find out if it really is a hit when it first appears on Nobi's site. I hope it doesn't happen (and probably won't) but it would do my ego well if we locked up Nobi's site cause so many went to download it. I'm just dreaming in any case. For the beta builders I am...

Yeah you're right Bill it is 4 and 6. As for the nose gear it's just a slightly scaled down version of the main gear without the attatching bar on the top.

Looks great! I'll send the email right now. I don't show it in the diagram that you have in your picture but there are control rods that go between the arms of pieces 2 and 6. just use some narrow gauge wire for that. Also the lower portion of the rotor assembly is rotated slightly from the...

Okay the revisions have gone out(hopefully) to all the beta builders. If not email me and let me know(possibly I typed your email wrong). To Darwin the tail rotor looks awesome. I'm glad it worked out well. In my last post I took responsibility for bad instructions on the exhaust nozzle...
