Stratos Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Outstanding! I can imagine it in the cold platform ready for a flight! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

aw33com Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Su-17M - this one is still missing few small changes to landing gear front doors and a tail probe needs to be moved. Landing/Taxi light needs to be added. Edited November 7, 2019 by aw33com
Stratos Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Nice to see the M3 as well, once Afghanistan map is released it will be very useful! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
flanker1 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 this is really amazing! hope to see your work flying in dcs world one day! i love what i see. . . :-)

aw33com Posted November 12, 2019 Author Posted November 12, 2019 Went back and finished the 17-M nose. It's a bit different:
aw33com Posted November 17, 2019 Author Posted November 17, 2019 So busy there on the belly of 17M. Looks like the shorter nose of the 17M made it hard to hide the front gear.
aw33com Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Finally moved on to items different than fuselage. I actually enjoy doing flatter parts. It's fun. Took about 2 hours to do horizontal stabilizers. I am working only part time for now, but once I do the external model I will do the cockpits full time and it should come in much faster. More pics from stabilizers
Stratos Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Can we see a pic of full plane as it stands now please? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
aw33com Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Well to be honest, I don't have much more than what I'm showing you. I'm working on the wings now. It should be done this week. So this week we will have the whole thing except: canopy, pylons, and landing gear. The only good news is: I came up with an idea for the module that would make everyone happy I think. It would be difficult to pull off, but not impossible. This airplane had a loooong rich history and he was used in many different ways. I would love to capture that history. Make no mistake this was the Warthog of the East.
aw33com Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Just went through all the pictures for the wings. Yeah, it won't be done this week, it's much more complicated than I thought. Tons of parts there. The landing gear openings and stuff there alone is a lot. Flanges, flaps, lights, scoops, guards, sweep moving parts, sweep flanges, vanes. I don't even know where to start.
flanker1 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 you do an amazing job!!!! please keep it up!
Stratos Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Agree! Keep it working on the bird. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Badger1-1 Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Awesome work! Hope we will fly this beast one day :)

Build detailed parts of the wings separately that are not moving control surfaces. The lights should be separate extensions. That also allows you to control the LOD level. Good work on the project btw, looking great. :thumbup:

aw33com Posted November 20, 2019 Author Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the wing is not that bad actually once you divide it into parts. I was just tired the other day and it seemed like the wing is lots of work, but it should not be that bad. I did the sweeping part of the wing, but I don't have a good picture what is inside the light: Edited November 20, 2019 by aw33com
aw33com Posted November 20, 2019 Author Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Is it possible you consider a Su-7 afterwards? Or do it first as a testbed as it is much simpler? Yeah, Su-7, Su-17, Su-17M2, Su-17UM (trainer) would be natural to develop from what I have. My approach is kind of in reverse, from the most difficult, most developed Su-17 downwards. If I will ever be happy with this one, I will consider Su-7 for sure. Edited November 20, 2019 by aw33com

Do you have "Applied aerodynamics" for them, or tube tests? Are you going to perform "virtual blows" of your model? It seems detailed enough for blowing. ППС АВТ 100 60 36 Ф < | > !
