Wings! - To 3D Print or Not to 3D Print? - RC F-16 Build Part 9
What's an F-16 without its wings right? In this video I build the wings which gives the F-16 the last of its main structural components. I encounter an issue with the original fiberglass wing design (my bad!) that causes me to change direction with the wing build. Version two of the wing gets 3D printed from LW-PLA (lightweight PLA).

Finishing the Fuselage! RC F-16 Build - Part 8
Переглядів 27 тис.Рік тому
After many, many months of work, the F-16 fuselage is complete and looking amazing! It was well worth the effort! In this video I make/install the rest of the internal structure, layup the remaining fiberglass skins and ducts, fit the electronics, and install the vertical fin. And just like in other parts of the build, specially made 3D printed alignment jigs/tools come in handy to position par...
Let's Build The Fuselage! RC F-16 - Part 7
Переглядів 98 тис.Рік тому
The F-16 is really starting to take shape! In this video I start building the fuselage. I use PVA release film for the first time to see if it can prevent the mold primer from sticking to the parts. The internal structure glue up also calls for the use of special made 3D printed alignment jigs/tools. Want to support my work?

Weight and Balance | Custom RC F-16 Build - Part 6
Переглядів 9 тис.2 роки тому
This video is all about aircraft weight and balance! I give a few reasons why it is important, walk you through my weight and balance spreadsheet (which estimates the weight and the longitudinal C.G. location of my RC F-16), and compare the weights of the components I already built to my estimates.

Do not use can spray primers, those can spray primers have poor adhesion to the plastic, they are soft, they keep shrinking even after months. Use polyester primer instead. If you do not have spray gun to spray polyester primer you can apply it with foam roller on the surface.
And next time didn't come yet 😔
I cant wait to see your upcoming video. Your design and overall construction is looking solid & pretty. Keep up the good work mate 👍🏻
hey buddy, great work! You should polish the wax after its dry to help the pva to stick as one surface. Lovely project!
im really exited to see if you allow us to buy and use your files and build our own f16 !! tnx
looks very good. Nice to see that not everything has to be done with a CNC mill
Superb !!!
Superb !!!
Waiting for the final build video and maiden flight of this beautiful build!
Love the work and the explanations! <3
I have a doubt...why haven't you used any longitudinal brace (stringers) that runs through all bulkheads of the fuselage? That would have made your airframe stiffer longitudinally
I considered using them but determined they weren't needed. The spacing between frames is so small that the skin itself doesn't need them for stiffness. The fuselage is actually plenty stiff. There's internal structure that helps with its bending. Like the two support beams for the battery and two longerons between the main landing gear and horizontal stabilizer frames. Also, the inner EDF ducting through the frames provides an incredible amount of stiffness. The fuselage is a double walled tube there essentially.
It looks fast!
Whaaooou I've never seen this molding's technics it's Amazing congrats man !!
Wow, this is genuinely the most detailed, well-done, and enjoyable builds I have ever seen! Please keep the great work up!
I hope you continue to make these videos. I know they are time consuming but your skill is amazing. Thank you
No worries, the next video is in progress, albeit slowly. Life's been super busy for me lately, hence the slow progress. Thank you!
I'am Liket'$ mister...and My hoby..air modeling...asembly...
Friend can you give me the drawing in pdf
Can you please share thr model on drive
Waiting for your next video...
Superb! Did you create all that in fusion 360?
I sure did!
@@3DParadigmDesign Awesome! Do you got any videos how you made it? Or can you make a video explaining how you model it in fusion ? That would be so great!
@@a330turbinex7 don't have a video of that. Maybe in the future!
I make fibreglass models from homemade molds : Your approach is a thin layer of fibreglass on an underlying structure and it is beautiful but you can also make the skin to be a structure in itself an vastly decrease the number of formers and the overall weight. A thin Herex pre- shaped with a heat gun and curing under vacuum, otherwise known as sandwich construction faster and easier to make. Beautiful anyway
I did a calculation and it would have been heavier if I used another ply and less frames. The weight of another layer of fiberglass ply plus epoxy is quite a lot more than just having more balsa frames. I definitely agree it would have been an easier and quicker build if I had much less frames.
@@3DParadigmDesign I.m inclined to believe you but what matrix did you use? Glue seams can be heavy… total ply weight when you use a one ounce first cloth layer for texture followed by a two ounce on other side of the herex for a total of 5ounces while re absorbing a lot of resin in the vacuum process is my way to doing things but I’m not trying to say I’m right
@@oyveydetoymeny I used a single ply of 6oz fiberglass. And approximately a 50/50 weight ratio for epoxy to fiberglass. I can see your method being just as light or lighter since the ply weights are much lower. Sandwich structure composites are very efficient for stiffness.
Can you do video how to make crate molds
I have another video that talks about the molds. Maybe the only step missing is how I modeled them in Fusion 360. It was quite simple though. You basically create a box and "cut away/remove/subtract" the section of the airplane from that box. And you have a mold! ua-cam.com/video/eH55p1k6gYg/v-deo.htmlsi=fFD9lDg74ClBITFW
Hi question, where can I buy the files? That’s
Awesome design! I wish I was smart & talented enough to make my own model like this. New sub here. Thanks for making these vids!
You did your mold wrong. You should print your wing not the mold. After you print your wing, you should sand it and polish it, make it nice and smoth. Next step is coverd it with special mold resin after that you will apply several layers of fiber glass. Now you have your propper mold done. With this kind of mold you can make your fiber glas wing and it will NEVER bend.
How did u made that blue mould?
I 3D printed it! I have another whole video dedicated to the 3D printed molds.
@@3DParadigmDesign is there any other easy way? I'm going to make Cessna 172 . I wS thinking how about if i first build a model then use it as molding by fiberglass. I m not sure if this is a good technique
@@Nonenone-dd6xo that's actually a pretty common technique! It's not easy but making molds is never easy unless you have a 3D computer model and a machine to make the molds for you.
So going from fuselage to the wing tip, the wing profile is shrinking proportionally to maintain the cross section profile? And did you calculate the wing length to ensure whther the lift will be sufficient for the plane to go to the air?
Merhaba muhteşem bir iş çıkarıyorsunuz elinize sağlık. Bu projenin 3d kalıbına ve donatı pdf ine sizden temin etmemiz mümkün olursa çok sevinirim
I have the Freewing 70mm F16 and found the Freewing EDF unit very marginal. I swapped it for the FMS 70mm EDF power unit and it completely transformed the flying ability of the model. I's strongly recommend you change to the FMS power unit. Good luck with the maiden.
Do you know the kV of the Freewing motor you had? They had several kV options and I chose the highest one (2300kV) to get the most thrust.
what glue did you use for the balsa?
Pdf?
Can we have a pdf
Could you do a tutorial on how you design the wings in fusion?......looking forward to seeing a flight video 🤙
Great🎉 But I wanna ask that did you applied epoxy resin or?
You have amazing skill, talent and patience. Awesome build. i just binged the whole series. I need more. Hurry up, lol. Keep it up bro. Cant wait to see you paint it. It's always my favorite parts of projects whether my own or someone else's.
Hi, which printer model you use?
Hey, I'm using an Ender 3 Pro
Impressive work throughout! Happy to see your choice of materials and equipment. Very best wishes towards your future projects!
Thank you so much!
Incredible build. Brilliant modelling skill
For me it would be super interesting if you could explain the process in fusio360 to get to the outer hull of the plane. I am trying to do that for a small project (small pusher f16) and I tried so many things (edit form, surfaces) and most of them I just stopped and tried something else.
really nice! What tolerance did you use for the carbon rod holes?
awesome project🔥 what glue do you use to glue the plywood to the fuselage? what glue do you use to glue metal to plywood?
Thank you! I use West System 105 epoxy resin + 205 hardener.
U need a Laser cut the wood
How much for the files
Are u selling the kit
I am not. I am considering selling the molds as a digital kit after I complete the plane. But not sure if just the molds would be desired. What do you think?
All files full plane
love the channel nice work. May I Suggest something with respect to peeling the part from the mold? buy a compressor and flatten the metal pin it should fit in between the fiberglass part and the mold and spray air in between. it will lift with ease.
Interested to know what 3D printer you use? And what software please?
I use an Ender 3 Pro, Cura for slicing, and Fusion 360 for the CAD model
can you change the servo if it broken?
Yep, I'm planning to create an access door for those servos.
Sevgili dostum bana f-16 yapımıyla ilgili planları yollayabilirmisin
I'de be curious what your slicer predicts the weight to be if you used PETG vs LWPLA. Plus is the work of fiberglass worth the weight savings? 3rd ever consider low expansion spray foam internal? Fewer internal spars with greater rigidity.
If I printed out of PETG it would weigh about 76g (for just the printed parts. doesn't include the carbon rod or wood tabs). So that's a bit heavier than the fiberglass wing. Is the fiberglass work worth it? I'd say it depends. If the whole plane was printed from PETG it would be very heavy and probably wouldn't fly well. It could instead certainly be printed from LW-PLA to save a lot of weight and fly better. It's truly a lot of work building it with molds, composite skins, and wood internal structure. It would have been way easier for me (considering I'm very comfortable CAD modeling) to make the plane fully 3D printed. But it wasn't about what was easier. I wanted the experience of doing it with fiberglass/molds. I didn't consider low expansion spray foam but that's a good idea too! There are many ways to build RC airplanes. Just depends which way you want to do it.
