The Cessna Skymaster is a twin-engine built in a push-pull configuration. Its engines are mounted in the nose and rear of its pod-style fuselage. The primary advantage of a push-pull configuration for twins is the elimination of the "critical engine" in single-engine flight. Conventional multi-engine aircraft experience control issues with one engine failed, where the "Centre Line Thrust" with the Skymaster only results in loss of performance, rather than control. Twin booms extend aft of the wings to the vertical stabilizers, with the rear engine between them. The horizontal stabilizer is aft of the pusher propeller, mounted between and connecting the two booms.
The detailing with this model may coincide with the O-2A variant used by the military, but should otherwise be a stock 337 Skymaster. I am planning on adding the belly cargo pack at a later time, making it the 337B variant. If you see any issues with the model let me know!
Version 1.1.5
Printer Brand: MakerBot
Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation)
Rafts: Yes
Supports: Yes
Resolution: 0.15mm
Infill: 20% 0.4mm Diamond (fast)
Notes:
Smaller resolutions will yield higher quality at the expense of time. I have only rendered it to 0.15mm so I cannot guarantee success at smaller resolutions.
Credit to Carenado for creating an excellent model of their own for Flight Simulator, which provided a fantastic reference for smaller detailing.
