I made a 3d model of the plane

The other day I made a 3d model of my plane. I did it as usual in Fusion 360 and I made that only to help me to visualize the project. The only part whose missing is the tail (i'll make it when I'll do it IRL)

I designed a module to throw a parachute

I wanted to have the possibility to throw parachutes of the plane just by pushing a button on the remote controller that will activate a servo motor that will open a little door to release the parachutes. For that, I made a 3d file on Fusion 360 and I will 3D print it to glue it on the plane.

First version of my thinking :

Second version :

The two big "pins" are here to hang the servo motor.

I made the wings

Today, I bought some more extruded styrofoam and made the wings of the plane with it. It took 2 hours approximatively. I still need more styrofoam but I will buy it when I will go in France in 14 days.

Here is the image of what I made today :

The plans for the structure of the plane

You can find the plans I made to make the plane in styrofoam in the following PDF : SPIT G 01 (1)

It would be normal that you guys don't really understand those plans but I understand them so I can completly make the plane out of that.
See you soon !

Where did I buy all the components ?

I bought all the parts I needed from Aliexpress. I couldn't find cheaper that whatt I bought. I spent a lot of time to select each components (I am not counting the hours I spent for that in this journal entry because I already did in the last one)

Started making the first prototype of the plane structure

I first tried to find extruded styrofoam with a thickness of 6mm to make the structure. Where I live, in reunion Island, it was impossible to find that and I was so upset !!! As a soluce, I bought styrofoam but with a thickness of 60mm...
I had to cut the styrofoam to have 6mm parts but it was a hard task as I only had an hand saw to do it...
After that, I made plans on paper sheets to know how I would cut the different parts of the plane. I had to think about a lot of settings : rudder, elevation, lift, etc. After a lot of fails I finally did it and printed the last version of my plans.
The next thing I had to do was the making of the first prototype. I cut the styrofoam following my plans and glued all the parts together. I did not do the wings but only the central part because I needed to buy more sttyrofoam... I bought some of the electrical components I need on Aliexpress and I had them delivered to Fance, where my grandmother live (I go there In 15 days to make the last version of the plane and to assemble all the componants there).
I will inform you guys of the progress of that project !
see you
