Re: A brace of Pixies - Irvine & OS
Are there any news about the Pixie MK2 case for 3D-print ?

Hi Frank
I did the original MK1 Pixie drawings that Neil then modified for us all.
I started on the MK2 Pixie, I took photo's, wrote dimensions and started drawing them in OpenSCAD, but never finished drawing them.
If you would like, I can upload the photo's and the unfinished OpenSCAD file for you to finish. Otherwise it will be later this year before I start again, as I have quite a few other build projects that I want to finish first, so I can fly them this summer.
I have far too many projects that I've started and half finished but not completed, is everybody else the same?
Regards
Mike

Thanks Mike,
as ,there is no rush for the MK2 case. Just like to know, how far it is grown.
Take your time, it´s just a hobby. The work should be a pleasure and no pressure.
If you like, you can upload the unfinished drawing and I can try to finish it. Although my OpenSCAD knowledge is very limited, I will try my best.
Regards

Re: A brace of Pixies - Irvine & OS
Hi All
Back on the original Pixie slope soarer theme of this thread
Can anyone furnish me with a rough back-of-a-fag-packet (can I say that now ) three-view drawing and some dimensions for the Irvine Pixie ?
I keep getting emails asking if I'm doing a short kit - which I can of course, but my crystal ball is a tad cloudy around the dimension issue
I've done a rough mockup using the pix I have - I even have the ar$e end of an original Pixie box which is about the best I can get so far, but someone running a ruler over the real thing would be sufficient.
Some wood sizes would also be good and maybe some fuselage internals.
None of this is rocket science and I'm eminently capable of coming up with a clone, but it would be nice to get as close as poss.
TIA
Cheers
Neil
