Last year I found a Testors Cosmic Wind on eBay. This was the first CL plane I flew and was pleased to find a very clean unflown example. It makes me happy seeing it on my desk, but I’ll never fly it.
Most of the classic plastic models found for sale are either like mine, too nice to fly, or in such poor condition they are unflyable. I really want to fly my favorites that I could not afford as a kid...Pitts Special, Cox Mustang and Chipmunk stunter.
What keeps us from 3D scanning existing examples and sharing the files for printing new examples? I don’t have any first hand experience with 3D scanning and printing but from what I have read this seems doable...I have now clue as to the $$$.
Any smart 3D printing gurus out there. Can we bring back the shrill scream of baby bees to basketball courts and parking lots everywhere? Will I finally get my Art Scholls Pitts?
