It’s really amazing to think that a little over 100yrs ago flight was still being figured out, to where we are in 1 to 1 scale planes to scale models, all those years trying to figure out lift to today where those same basic principles are being used and being perfected. Today a person with the basic knowledge of how a plane works can build a rc plane on a 3D printer or a real plane in his garage, when people of the past I’m sure several gave up thinking that it could never be done.

Fantastic! My dad started flying for United in the 50s with the DC-6. However, he was younger than many pilots in the Airlines after the war and when they offered Jet training for the DC-8 he got chosen. Because the older guys decided they didn't want to learn new equipment just before they were going to retire anyway! I wish my dad were alive today to see this beautiful model. Nice work.

Thank you so much! Oh wow, that is neat, then you really now these designs are quite the task but so worth it! I agree, even though the first landing was that rough, it held up well, but on the second landing, hitting that hard terrain just snapped it right off. I think I would also like to find a nose gear with a strut!

I see from the cults3d that you were trying to avoid CF. I think my favorite part was the nacelle magnets and making them uni-directional. Nice touch.

Wow Troy, this is a stunning model! I grew up a United Air Lines brat and spent many hours with my nose pressed against the windows, looking out at those big props as we flew back and forth across the country. Times were different so I was even given a tour of the front office IN-FLIGHT. (No... nobody asked me if I liked movies with gladiators). I fly a Dynam DC-3/C-47 RC foamy and have always wondered why some company didn't come out with a DC-6, and here you went and engineered it in the most elegant fashion! Wish I had the expertise to print and assemble your model. If you ever decided to go into manufacturing this one, I'd be first in line for it. My late father and and I have a combined 80 year continuous history of employment at UAL, so I appreciate your choice of livery. You definitely have yourself a new subscriber! I shared your vid on the "UAL Old Farts" FB group, so you may pick up some more subscribers from there. -Burt in NJ

Troy, that thing is so smooth in the air! Its actually the first scale airliner to fully catch my attention and I've been building and flying ww2 fighters and modern jets up to several meter scale, from ducted to pulse ramjet... Your DC is very well designed and it looks superb! I have to say it is your unique design techniques and attention to detail, combined with a mechanical knowledge that is comparable to a qualified aircraft engineer that has me sold. Most pilots don't have such a vast array of engineering skill, It matches your piloting expertise clearly on display here. I smiled very wide watching you flare that second landing which was better than textbook despite a nose gear failure! Having carbon brakes wouldn't have helped there at full scale🤣 I appreciate how difficult that perfection is at these scales. I also know what I'm doing for my next build, I'm now convinced on getting an Ender 3 s1 pro (and I know where my spare retracts are headed!). Thank you for sharing your brilliant work with us :)

Troy, this is a well thought out and executed design. There is another aircraft that you should take a look at. The overall form is similar. Take a look at the XF-12 rainbow. It's a post war 4 engine aircraft that is really sleek and cool looking. It was also very fast. Someone made a balsa kit of it several years ago but, they didn't sell many because of the way they designed it. It was hard to build. Also, if you could have a few extra decal sheets printed and offer them for sale would be great.

Does it fly so good simply because of the original DC-6 design or do you have to take extra care in designing the model? Never thought the option to simply 3D print a flyable RC plane would come on the table. The whole self stressed skin and riggers structure looks almost prototypical. Really enjoyed this!
@TroyMcMillan
@TroyMcMillan Год назад
It is a bit of both. The DC-6 has an incredible design to it already, with features like the dihedral wing and also the large SA of the wing as compared to its fuselage. I improved features that I know make an RC plane fly well, I increased the size of the aileron and elevator, and adjusted the foil of the wing.

No spars in the wings and tail? Are they molded into the interior of the wing? If so do you rely on the glue to make them continuous through the wing? I’ve been modeling for over 40 years and I’m very impressed, the precision is amazing!
@julescircuits845
@julescircuits845 Год назад
Impressive I fully agree! Well....looking closely at his design, he doesn't use what you'd call a typical spar as when you 3D print instead of "construct" then other bracing and strengthening techniques can be implemented, which wouldn't work with other construction methods. He has used ribbing and geometric fill patterns that do the same job structurally with similar to less weight, which are only possible when manufacturing them as part of the outer structure. So while there are no spars, I believe his design would actually flex less and be less likely to fracture than a spar reinforced wing, CA glue can bond as strong as the material you bond it with. This design would not be practical in a 1:1 airliner due to the required fuel capacity and hardware enclosure that normally fills this wing space, A structure which we generally copy when designing model aircraft. Its actually refreshing to see such a well designed craft using out of the norm design in my opinion.

I think the landing gear issues are due to the roughness of the dry lake bed. I bet if the Douglas landed on a paved surface, the gear would not have snapped. Great looking DC-6

I worked on these aircraft at Speke in Liverpool in 1960s. They have always stayed my favourite. That aside I find not only your skill but your intellect incredible. I still use balsa,, after 75 years of building model aircraft. I find your talents beyond my understanding. An absolutely wonderful video. I find your use of c/a as the only glue to hold a tubular fuselage and wing together !amazing. Congratulations.

Even though I am rather into ships and ship models this is so awesome that I was rivetted to my phone's display watching this video. I wished I had your skills designing, printing and assemblying my ship models, well at least the hull, decks, superstructure, though I design my hulls with a CAD software for ship hull lofting/fairing already, however haven't yet the 3d printing equipment and thus built the hulls plank on plywood frames which I saw manually with a fretsaw. This is admittedly almost a waste of the digital 3d construction which would lend itself to be either CNC milled or the hull to be printed in sections like you did with the fuselage of your splendid DC-6 model. I would like to know how long it took you alone to design your model on the computer ready for printing? What CAD SW were you using? I find it really noble of you that you share the STL files of your design with other aircraft model makers!

Here’s where aeronautical engineering, computer science and scale modelling come together! What I can’t understand is why someone with this advanced knowledge of model engineering would choose to conduct initial test flights on a surface that has significant potential to destroy this superb scale model!

This design and build is next level. Amazing amount of effort and detail when into this build. Think a single video doesn't do the build justice, could have been a 2-3 video series. Similar content, just packaged differently to focus more on specific aspects of the build, with separate flight video.

Just an idea I thought of - instead of having to make a new tool to measure those engine mounts and then have a tool you have to throw away or leave sitting around, you should add marks on the mounts on your design so you just know where to stop at.
@TroyMcMillan
@TroyMcMillan Год назад
That is a cool idea, the reason why I had to make it that way is because the glue dries SO fast. So there is nearly no time for a second guess, and that's why the part takes the guess work out of it - it is right where it should be.

No spars or braces in the flying surfaces/wings? Did you really glue the whole airplane with CA glue, and trust it to hold during numerous flights? Looks amazing though - thanks for the video!
@Jakedasnake1066
@Jakedasnake1066 Год назад
If you look closely you can see that the wing sections were printed with internal struts at 45 deg to the chord/spar direction. Traditional ribs are not printable as they are parallel to the build plate, so this method replaces both the ribs and spars and makes the skin and internal structure printable as a single piece, at the expense of weight.

I mean, if it is totally viable with models for RC, just think about simple or traditional plastic model kits. I guess manufacturers like Tamiya, revell, italeri, svezda and the rest, have their minutes counted. They've been contemptuous to customers, now they'll bend over.
