A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Is the engine being built to running condition or static?
Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:42 pm
due to the costs it will stay in static but redone as good as possible

I would like to suggest, if there's a technical university around, aerospace and mechanical degrees generally demand a "drawing" course with is done, these days, with some sort of solid model software. Well, you could approach the responsible for such course and the students could do that work. They have to do some project and maybe that could interest some of them, that would be a win-win situation no?

hello rreis,
i appreciated your comment,but i have been consulting some mechanical departments at the university for other easier stuff.
today its like most of the people are doing their job to pay their bills and whatever
if they are by themselves not interested in your thing you can go home
I have had the support of a C.O of a company but than on lower echelon they do dificult coz no time no this no that etc etc
if you cannot find people who are involved in this matter like myself you will have a hard time with it.
its just the same with blueprints if i have to make a list to whom i have written around the planet for searching blueprints or construction plans...
impossible to find...
Its correct what you say when you could have the cooperation of a mech-div its indeed a win-win
I started to collect stuka stuff a few years ago, and its only now that i am trying to build up a team around me who has the same interests and motivation its not easy but we are working on it.
anyway hopefully in the future i have some help from left and right.
my main consern is yet to find someone who is interested in drawing on computer coz no plans avaible i have to do reversed engineering. of the structural parts i have
thanks for showing your interest

Have you approached Hendon over in England as they have a complete Stuka on display.There are other Stuka wrecks around the world have you been in contact with them.With 3D it is going to be a big job but the best way to design these things is from the outside in.Get all the information you can of the fuselage and wings and loft out a shape.That can be sectioned up to create bulkhead shapes and wing rib shapes.Then it is a process of filling in the details.A big jigsaw where you have to make the parts yourself..Take care..Will be in touch..
Cheers Ross
