So I was just testing this airplane after adding some new retracts, and upon initial deployment, the main year did not come down at all. It didn’t even move. So I retracted the gear again and put them back down and then all three finally came back down. My question is this a one time thing or should I look into replacing the retract sequencer computer?
Is it possible to make a 3-D printed airplane that uses a gas engine? I want to design my own. I have multiple gas engines on hand. I just wanna know how should I reinforce the front section where all the vibrations will be concentrated? Is it heat shield necessary or can I do without it if I move the exhaust far enough away? I don’t care about weight in this instance. I’m just curious if it’s even possible. Even if it’ll fly for a short time doesn’t matter I just want to know if somebody has done it or what I should keep in mind when designing this aircraft so that it can better handle having a gas engine on board.
