Title: Baby Draco
Post by: davidk on February 17, 2025, 01:03:39 AM
The Draco is, without question, an ugly airplane.  However, shrink it down and it almost becomes cute.  A retried locksmith in Australia designed a Baby Draco.  840mm Wingspan, Length 550mm, 2S or 3S.

There are 3 sections to the fuselage and these are held together by a hook system.  The front section has 2 hooks and the landing gear bolts onto the fuselage overlapping the front and middle sections.  The tail section hooks onto the middle with 4 very tight hooks.  It's interesting.  He did this so that if a section is damaged it can be easily separated and re-printed.

The landing gear is sprung with 1 1mm wire per side and is very effective.
