Default Re: Where to find 3D plans/drawings for Edge 540 or Yak 54

I moved your post to this forum, I think you will get a lot more exposure here.

As for your question, I know you can't take the plans for a smaller plane and just increase the size of the structural members to scale, the loads are much higher in the larger airframe.

As for taking full scale plans and sizing them down, the flight characteristics that we want in our planes are different than what can be expected from a full scale aerobat, hence the design changes to the scale model. There are many on here than can give much better insight than I can.

Good luck and please keep us informed!!
