Douglas X-3 Drawing Request

[Sundog]

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who wants to model the Douglas X-3 for FSX (Flight Simulator X). All of his aircraft are freeware. However, we've been unable to find a drawing of the X-3 with good cross sections. If anyone has one I would appreciate if you could share it, or let me know if I need to purchase it.

Regards,

Ken

Here's the only file with any cross sections that I can find.

Otherwise, getting a plastic model kit and sacrificing it for the cross sections might be the lowest cost option - unless you want to develop the shape from photos.

The Real Stuff. X-3, years ago at the Air Force Museum. Many of the aircraft were crowded together in the Experimental Hanger at Wright-Patterson before the new addition was built. These are any housed there.
Best shot I could get of the controls.

Then there is the set of photos on the Air Force Museum site form 2015. Here the X-2 was being moved and much better photos were obtained. These should help with model building research

And X-3 photos during the actual test program back in the 1950's
