3d Printed Part Sets - Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor

[Radar-Guy]

Great timing! I was just getting ready to print another trailing edge piece and then cut to fit. This will save me some cutting!

We aim to please. The part is not only revised in width, I reduced the chord as well to achieve a bullet like shape with the front and rear fairings fitted.
No chance to test those mods here, temperatures below freezing... :Cold:

Another part to improve the airflow ahead of the fan. It goes to the forward facing side of the wing spar. Two are needed.

Remove the existing coming. Just pry it up. Leave the rest of the plastic tub. Unscrew and pry out the pilot. Remove the HUD frame from existing coming to use on the 3D printed part.

Since my maiden was successful, I think I'll start the 3D Pups for the cockpit. One question. How do I remove the existing cockpit and do I need any of the existing bits for the printed one?

Like this? ;) Although I'm hoping we can cut away some of the stock gear door to close up the wheel pocket some more.

That’s awesome! I’m definitely going to add that to the mods. I haven’t even had a chance to fly mine yet. I was in the first batch :Confused:

Hmmm....sounds like a tough job.

How about a similar mechanism like in fms t28 Trojan main gear?
u have to make a temporary arm-like thing under the door to connect a steel wire and the other end connect to the wheel well wall.

u get what I mean?

Hinge plate mounts in wing and door mounts with arm exposed. Servo mounts in wing and an external pushrod goes from the servo arm to the arm on the gear door.

I was kinda thinking the same thing myself. Just under an hour left on the print, then I'll mock it up and see how to install.

It could be that the servo has to mount under the wind to the outside of the pocket, so the control arm and pushrods are exposed. We'll see.

This should give you guys an idea of what they look like and how they operate.

Am I the only one that think, the horn is on the upper side of the door? Is it meant to be there or a mistake? If correct, so is it supposed to be for some sort of sprung mechanism door?

and if it's supposed to be going to the down side, isn't it too close to close the door? And see the curve in the underside of the door.

someone please clarify this. Thanks in advance

[WAY BAD]

Could I pay one of you guys to print me the wheel inserts, the dual light pod for the nose gear, and the new gear doors?

Gear doors are currently printing, 6 hour job. Will post pics of how they turn out.

Per Todd's post on the regular F-22 thread.

Main gear outer door 3DPup files are now available at this link.

Thanks brother! :-) Always looking to add to the skills tool box!

Steve, you are clearly " designing" :-) ... what software are you using?

Fusion 360. So much to learn. I can do some basic relatively simple objects. Perhaps one day if I work really hard at it I could be about as good as Dirty Dee, rcfiddy1 or Radar-Guy! :)
