DG 1001

[D82]

Hi,

maybe some of you already know from my other posts. I started a project for DG 1001M glider. I'll be posting here brief updates time to time. More detailed ones you may found on the blog (in signature). For now I have done flight model that quite accurately follows desired speed polar.

You mention DG1001. What is the difference with the "1000" ?

I found nothing about a specific "1001M" : is it a self-launcher, too ?

[D82]

M is a selflauncher. 1001 is newer refined 1000. It has inovated interiour and some new features. Nothing about 1001M? Tried the official DG site? The 1001M is the only selflauncher. Other engine equiped ones are not capable to roll and take of. Can use the engine during flight only.

A small update. So far modeled: main fuselage shape, canopy, tail area.

Wings are done. So it is starting to look like a plane . And som WIP shots...

[D82]

Exterior model ready for animating...

Looking pretty good!

Looking very nice. Thanks for the update.

Recorded short clip demonstrating implemented exterior animations (except rudder, didn't have a joy while recording)

Currently still working on the engine. With finished propeller I decided to try how it will perform in xpl environment. I did capture a short video of the test (extension and start) . Everything went well so I may continue finishing the engine unit with details (hoses, screws, etc.). As usually more pictures of the engine can be found on my blog. Also I created a fb fun page http://www.facebook.com/XSoaring
