Giant 1:4,5 scale Heinkel He-162 A2 RC jet model

cults3d

1:4,5 scale model of the Heinkel He-162. Length: 1996 mm (without pitot tube) Wingspan: 1580 mm Flying weight: 7,5 kg Power: ~4000 W Minimum printer size for the biggest parts: 280x280x300 mm Many parts will print on smaller 200x200x180 CG: 83 mm - Should be slightly forward with gear down and slightly aft with gear up Elevator throw: 20 mm up and down Aileron throw: 20 mm up and down Rudder throw: 12 mm left and right Prototype videos:https://youtu.be/EDEhikNloU8https://youtu.be/c0MWYCIPg6g (Note that the prototype did not have reinforced landing gear like the files here. I'm reprinting with the reinforcements) Final version video with reinforced undercarriage:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHlbqoq0Mpk Very good stall characteristics and gentle handling in flight. The prototype had a top speed of 228 km/h with the 3D printed EDF. There is no bad handling because of the high thrust line because it is compensated for in the design. The EDF intake is larger than scale for more airflow to the 120 mm EDF. The turbine intake is closer to scale size. I have no intention of trying turbines myself but There is room in the fuselage for all kinds of tanks. I can design a turbine nacelle if there is a need for one with a larger internal cavity than the duct. I added a separate Exhaust piece for small turbines for those that want to try that. Exhaust02-turbine has 6,6mm slots in the sides for glueing in 6 mm or 1/4" plywood mounting rails for turbines like Kingtech K45 at the proper angle (2° down thrust). The top of the plywood rails will be the center of the duct. The canopy has 4mm holes on each side in the front for adding 4mm latching mechanism. You'll need ~4x30mm rods with a 2mm hole drilled perpendicular for ~2x10mm rods (handles to fit into. You also need 3mm-4mm diameter springs if you want the latch to lock in place with spring tension. The same Warning, skills like basic metalwork and brazing (silver soldering) is required to finish this model, as well as general model setup know-how. Don't buy this if you don't know how to do DIY stuff like that, or are not willing to figure it out. If precise center drilling isn't possible then a pre made shaft coupler can be used between the threaded rod and actuator shaft instead, for example a 3x5mm (or 3x4 threaded to M5) here:https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575353675&campid=5338226872&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F5-10pcs-Brass-Shaft-Coupling-Coupler-Motor-Transmission-Connector-2-3-4-5-6MM%2F223717654597 I mistakenly linked to the wrong retract sequencer before. It should be V1, not V2. Safety warnings: -The EDF s a very highly loaded assembly at high speed so it's important that you know what you are doing. -Make sure the integrity of the printed impeller is good before trying to run it. -Always wear protective glasses when test runnin the fan. Always protect your eyes. -Do NOT run the fan at high power while holding in your hand. -Keep your hands and any loose items away from the fan when running. It WILL shred your fingers if they get sucked in, and the suction force is very strong. If something gets sucked in it can damage the impeller and potentially shatter, throwing loose debris out.

I used locally sourced aluminum tubing. The stand is supposed to support the plane immediately aft of the gear wells and at the joint between Fuselage02 and Fuselage03. If the 3D printable fan is used, the recommended HET motor should also be used with the heatsink. The motor shaft should have a hole drilled half way through it for one of the M3-16 mm impeller grub screws, because heat soak from the motor can cause the impeller to come loose if just a flat spot is used. The prototype fan pulled 100 A at full throttle on a fresh 12S charge when installed in the HE-162.
