I design things for fun and a living. I play with everything from submarines, 3D printers, airplanes, and electronics.
I think that the modifications that you made to the lower intake on the cowling look a lot closer to the actual aircraft. Nice job!

Also one of my favorite boats of the HA-201 class right next to it!

I see plenty of room for a lipo in there with a wireless charging pad on the bottom of that.

But I like that formfactor!

No problem, I am just catching up on your threads from the week. I have been on travel and have not been able to read.

This is always the challenge with trying to model subjects that the originals do not exist anymore. or hard to get access to. I am trying to piece data together to do a Kairyu submarine. All the drawings I have conflict, and I have started to use photogrammetry to extract the data I am looking for.

Unlike a 747, though, have substantially increased sound reduction (many orders of magnitude less) due to the fact that weight on a ground mounted turbine is not a driving issue. Run in a combined cycle (also not available in a 747) they run at about 56% thermodynamic efficiency.

I think that one main difference is that the transition from the conic shape at the intake to the rectangular shape at the exit is done too quickly on the model. If you were to make that transition almost twice as long, I think that it would look more accurate.

Dang, I live in the area and was not aware it was this weekend. I will have to watch out for it next year.

Which laser did you get?

Wonderful thread. I read it to the end. Great comparisons of technology, including bay cooling methods.

Perhaps @magnificent-max.bsky.social might have a line on something that I would look to try.

There appear to be a few tools to make this relatively easy assuming that your Lidar unit is working. Robot Operating System is one, though I also found out that Kitware has an interesting solution as well lidarview.kitware.com
LidarView - Visualize and Process Live Captured 3D LiDAR Data in Real-Time
LidarView is an open source platform, built from ParaView, that performs real-time visualization, recording and processing of 3D LiDAR data.

Ok I actually have some fun and great ideas to play with lidar odometry for 3d mapping of data points. These devices will allow mapping of large objects that could not be done with my smaller 3d scanners.
I plan on using this with Robot Operating System github.com/PRBonn/rko_l...

Thanks Max for asking!

Interesting, I just read the post. Do these resonators still need the capacitive loading, or can that come off the board too?

If there is a better way to notify you, I am happy to use another method, but thanks for helping to get it back online!
