The first fan section was finished.

Rotating test was almost OK. Less vibration than I thought.

Thank for looking.

Chop a finger off with that thing. This model is ready to fly.

Thanks!
Three more to go.

Impressive! Most impressive!

That thing might actually wind up flying away!

Thanks for the comment, my friends.
Yesterday, I made the second one.
Half way over now - only for this section though - but this is one of the part needs a work of labor.
Then I can go for wings, fuselage, landing gears ..... And then, vehicles..... Wheels and tracks......
Long way to go.

Korben44-san, Analyzer-san, again thanks for the comments and many 'likes', my friends.
I really appreciate your constant support.

Here's a little progress.

All four fan section have been done and I made aft vanes section and test fitting.

Test fitted fan section. The view from front.

And the view from back side.

The engine core sections will be decorated later.

Fan rotating test.

I don't know for sure, but the interference effect of the rotating fan section and the fixed vanes section right behind make a nice humming sound even in this low speed rotation.

I'm thinking that those both red and blue wires should be connected to the two inner vanes, so that I'm not gonna be bothered with the arrangement of the wiring. Also, I have to think about the wiring at the connecting point of wings and engine nacelles. Because the engine nacelles have to rotate itself for angle setting of take off/landing and cruise.

Thank you very much for looking.

Yup, you hardly be able to raise your left hand at the day's end.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if you built the watch yourself and that it had time travel as a feature.

yuumi2891103 · May 15, 2019

no way!

Analyzer · May 16, 2019

So is that thing going to actually fly

This is a fascinating thread, I love all the stories you tell in between the amazing scratchbuilding!

Naaa, but I'm thinking it's so practical to use this as a quad cool fan for coming summer.

Thank you very much, g0rb-san. An old man often speak too much.

OK, I got four nacelles here. Oh, I haven't thought that how do I attach these to the wing tip....
'Ask and it shall be given you' Think, think, think..... that's definitely one of the core fun of scratch building.
