Torellian Invader (1.6" upscale)
This is a placeholder page for a future project, to build a 1.6" diameter upscaled Torellian Invader out of an Estes Super Neon XL kit.
- The nose cone and canopy will need to be 3D-printed, but I can re-use those designs when I do a bigger upscale.
- Thinking about papering the fins (see here and here).
TODOS:
- Measure Super Neon XL parts
- Measure Torellian Invader parts, including all fin shapes
- Design & print templates for 1.6 upscale fins
- Cut fins from plywood
- Design nose cone in OpenSCAD
- Design canopy (also in OpenSCAD? or do this in Fusion 360?)
- Print nose cone
- Print canopy
- Design & print fin alignment jig
- Assemble motor mount
- Assemble tube fins
- Assemble wood fins
- Paint airframe
- Paint nose cone & canopy (maybe)
- Glue canopy to airframe
- Design vinyl
- Cut vinyl
- Apply vinyl
