I had not understood before why artists draw "Blochs" "crookedly", but it turns out that they themselves are not quite straight 🙂

I can only think this is to offset the propwash hitting the vertical tail fin in order to allow the aircraft to fly straight. Most modern training aircraft now have the tail fin offset to counteract the corkscrewing air of the propeller hitting it, lessening the pressure required on the pedals to keep the aircraft straight with a lot of right rudder.

Slackbladder, yes, you're right. The engine is offset from the longitudinal axis so that the aircraft is not pulled to the right by torque. Modeling is a constant source of new knowledge for me, and it's great!

Duster_d, but it works only at a certain power range. Normally the increased left turning tendency with large power changes, e.g. during take off or when performing a go-around, due to prop wash (and the p-factor) is counteracted with applying right rudder pedal. Mounting the prop shaft with such an extreme angle to me seems more like a sign of trying to fix to a flawed aerodynamic design.

Nice additions and cool colors in the cockpit! They liven up the basis kit parts substantially.

Very impressive built! I think the most noticeable issue of the academy kit is the main landing gear. The legs are way too long (2mm) and the MLG doors are too massive. But this is relatively easy to fix. Following!

That is a very filigree affair 😮 But are such heavy print line needed with latest technology? 🤔 I do not have a 3D printer but I have seen better parts.

I dilute perfect plastic putty and brush on parts with print lines. It dries in the "valleys" and runs off the "peaks" if you orient the part correctly. No need for a lot of sanding.

Robert, I would brush on a thin coat of Mr Surfacer and use Levelling Thinner with a cotton bud to cut it back. You don't need to apply any pressure.

I did a resin printed 1/35 K-Wagen, not quite as big as the thunderbird I think, but one of the biggest models I have built. There was a lot of putty and sanding involved.

Robert, did you get the scale wrong? 😄 For 1/48 scale, those flying tubes are really tiny.
I wish you a steady hand and a lot of patience during the construction and I'm curious to see the result.

Well... since you built a Pou du Ciel in 1:144, the 1:72 Bensen wouldn't be a problem for you... and it would have been great along these: One-man helicopters | Album by podkon (1:72)
So... what's next - a scratch-built Paresev maybe??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Paresev 😉
Keep them coming! 👍

I suspect the original had a bit of rotor sag. The only way I can think to reduce it is to replace the rotors completely - which is obviously a bit drastic.

Robert, if you want to solve the leaf bend, there is a relatively simple solution. Cut a full-length groove in the underside of the rotor blades and insert a thin steel string. Simply coat the string with Ca glue, sand it down and finally re-coat the underside of the sheet. It's extra work, but can be done in 1 to 2 hours.
Steel guitar strings can also be used. Strings can usually be purchased separately. The thinnest "e" string or the slightly thicker "f" string will suit your needs (the other strings are already wrapped with thin wire). If you were buying strings, you would want METAL ones. There are also nylon guitar strings, but they are not suitable for this purpose.

You're welcome. 😉
If you want to do something about bending the rotor blades, that's up to you. I expect that such a soft material will cause the rotor blades to bend even more over time under their own weight. Thin resin parts have a tendency to do that. But that's just my guess. Only time will tell if I'm right.

The rotor seems to be made from soft rubber rather than resin, Ludviku. Installing the wire would be very difficult. I will simply turn it upside down from time to time 😉

You might simply glue the wire to the center of the underside without trying to hide it as it won't be seen anyway (most likely).

Perhaps a thin coating of metal foil (e.g. bare metal foil) would be enough to make the rotor blades stiff enough.
