You can also use a raspberry pi to make your own adsb tracker
you will be able to see many more aircraft including coast guard and some military if you make your own
They need to move the planes that are in my way lol^^
Thanks for that. I’m trying to get more into planes but my brother is making it near impossible. “It’s my thing”
If you have any questions just ask :)
I have only been interested in aviation for just over a year, just go to the airport and watch
If you have a camera, take photos!
What is your rarest and most valuable 1:400 model?
Dang
For plastic??
My rarest is Gemini200 British Airways Concorde or Inflight200 Northwest/KLM DC-10-30
I’m surprised you paid $250 for a 1:400 scale model.
Mine was my $80 Beluga XL by NG models
Most expensive overall was a $230 CF-18 wooden model with no exact scale given
Hard to pinpoint my rarest
Most advanced man portable self contained small scale rocket Ground Control Station ever
Well at least I assume
That's cool
Those are worth $250? Dang
A350-900
@G650 I actually paid retail for the KLM back in 2014, but I have been offered the equivalent of $300 in models by KLM collectors for the model as apparently I is really hard to find one for sale and the least sold of all 1:400 KLM MD11 models. That NG Baluga is nice, we should chat about models sometimes as it is fun to do so, and I make a ton of YouTube videos on the topic.
@mangus.aviation It is actually solid metal, a zinc compound I believe.
Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing the aerospace industry
You can print geometries of superalloys that would be impossible to CNC or cast
@ricardo__ I love relatively and have been following their progress. Honestly more than their engines, it's the fact they want to 3D print the entire rocket
And yes 3D printing is amazing, I think it has potential of eventually opting out CNC, especially looking at how many 3D printed parts Space X and RocketLab are using succesfully.
I saw a Lufthansa A350-900 but it was in the other paint scheme
Sadly I don't have acess to a SLS printer, so I'm just working on using consumer FDM printers for small scaled rocketry
