3D-modeling the individual parts

In this section, we will explore the different part drawings that represent the RC helicopter. The provided drawings have enough information for you to replicate all the parts to end up with an identical result to the one shown in Figure P2.1. Thus, one option for handling the project is to create an exact replica of the given drawings. However, you can also choose to customize and adjust different elements of the design to make it your own. Keep in mind that this is your project, so feel free to treat it as such.

Exploring the individual parts

The provided RC helicopter consists of 16 parts. However, 12 of those are unique, which you will need to 3D-model, as highlighted in Figure P2.2. The parts you will need to 3D-model are as follows:

  1. Landing leg
  2. Landing arm
  3. Chassis
  4. Support
  5. Shaft
  6. Tail support
  7. Tail
  8. Blade Support
  9. Body
  10. Blade
  11. Tail blade
  12. Blade stabilizer
