Can someone give a list of all the bits that we need to remove? The centre wing holes in the left and right pods were pretty obvious and the cable holes in the pods for the wing ailerons but the rest is no so obvious. In the videos I notice a soldering iron being used to melt away waste sections of plastic that I guess were printed for support purposes but are unnecessary when the model is glued together. Don’t you need 9 pushrods? Can someone please give the required lengths of the steel push-rods? Also does anyone bother putting a V in their pushrods for adjustability?
#3dlabprint p38 manual
The manual says 6x Steel push-rods 1.0-1.2mm. Are we supposed to drill the centre out or is there a different coupling required? Does anyone of you have experience with the models. The prints are single wall structures with internal reinforcements, which arent sliced by cura. The recommended Turnigy motors come with what looks like an M8 coupling but centre hole in the spinners is much smaller. I am currently trying to print the P38 from 3dlabprint, but the provided cura profiles doesnt seem to work properly and I am not able to set it up myself. Has anyone tried running their model P38 with propellers rotating away from the cockpit? Is there any noticeable difference? I imagine it probably wouldn’t make any difference at this scale – I’m in the middle of my build and just thinking that I may go the historical way for motor rotation. All subsequent P38s were manufactured and run with their propellers rotating away from the cockpit. However I recall that the original real-life P38 prototype had its propellers this way and crashed and they found it was better to run the propellers rotating away from the cockpit to reduce turbulence over the centre wings and back to the stabilisers – particularly the elevator. The instructions say to make the propellers counter-rotate towards the cockpit.
