Pilatus B4

Re: Pilatus B4
Meanwhile I asked a good friend who is a rc model builder an also works at pilatus aircraft. He made a B4 in 1:3 scale many years ago and he gave me this original drawing. I hope it is useful, otherwise I will ask if I work again.
If you need, I also found a flightmaual:

Re: Pilatus B4
Thanks Patrick, this really helped with the nose definition which I've been struggling with. And it's the closer of the drawing matchups from side/top, to front. I greatly appreciate all the constructive feedback, now I gotta get working on this bad boy so you can all enjoy the benefits of this clean aerobatic glider:) Will send updates of the cockpit as they are completed as well. If anyone would like to send higher res pics then this forum allows, please forward to Pascal at:

Re: Pilatus B4
Had some more time today to make additional progress. When I get going it's hard to stop:). So here is the interior along with the cleaned up exterior repackaged with the new UVW mapping since I did a bit of distortion on the fuse to make it proper. Take it as a teaser, and I'm sure there will be plenty more comments on how to improve and make it better. But for now it's functional, just missing some cockpit details and all the interior paint details (like shading and occlusion, normal maps, etc.). Any comments on how to make it better are always appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Pilatus B4
You're welcome Jason .
Wow, I just wonder if you ever sleep ? From my side, there's nothing more to add up to now. She looks perfect.
Just a little request for OXO. If you have a skin with the big swiss flag, like on the pictures, it would be great if the CN is placed so that it doesn't overlap .

Re: Pilatus B4
Some corrections.
The Gear Lever is on the left. The Trim is on the right.

Re: Pilatus B4
I also added some more stuff to Dropbox : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xbcmhekee0af ... uQFaa?dl=0
- Pilatus B4-PC11 Maintenance and Repair Manual
- Some extra pictures of the underside of the dash where the release and Rudder Pedal Adjust knob are located.
On most B4 gliders you won't find the Attitude Indicator. Because it is expensive and usually needs an extra battery. But this is no problem for Condor...
...and then we can place the radio at the bottom underneath the Attitude Indicator.
Top left was originally for the G meter. I think we can use the Condor one that is in the swift ATM.

Re: Pilatus B4
Another one to show the Seating Position, Seat adjust system and the positioning of the Hook just before the main Gear.

Re: Pilatus B4
Thanks for all the corrections will work on those when time permits. These added images are great EDB, I was having a hard time finding good cockpit related images.
