ASW 27 wing tip wheels
Hi Andy!
It’s been a couple of years since you posted this. I’ve been printing for a few months now but definitely still a newbie. However I decide to try to print your wing tip wheels just in plain PLA just to see what it looks like on my 27. Unfortunately, i have tried pulling the STL file into both Cura and FreeCAD. In each the models come up VERY small. There’s no measure tool in Cura but I was able to measure in FreeCAD and the length of the lower/larger parts measure around 2.74 mm. :-). So was wondering if A. I was doing something wrong or B) if you knew what scaling factor would bring the models up to the correct size for printing? Thanks in advance! -Mark |

Typically it is an inch/mm issue. If they are realy small, try scaling by 2540%. 1in = 25.4mm
Otherwise try 240% cm output. It's the curse of "freedom units". I know, troll bait, but I dont have 12 fingers, or 3 arms, and unfortunately I dont have 5280 hairs on my head anymore, so I have switched to a logical system to the extent allowed... RR Metrologist by (former) trade. |

ASW 27 wing tip wheels
Are you guys talking about a full size glider or a model?
My friend who has a -27b would love to have wing tip wheels but has been told that it's too difficult given that it's a Standard Airworthiness ship.* Is attaching tip wheels with double sided tape a no-no, a 337 mod, or simply a log book entry?

Hi Dan!!
Yes I AM one or your “friends” out the airfield. :-). My my guess you are also talking about Miguel. I will let you know how things work out. Later! -Mark (IY) |

If it doesn't require tools to install/remove, should be a non-issue as far as Standard a/w - that was the ruling for camera mounts &c.
