3D Printed RC Airplane from Thingaverse!

[@Sock_real]

I wouldn’t call 3D printing optimal for an RC plane, but in your hands, it works fine!

With this being my first 3D printed plane, I was definitely surprised how light it actually was.

sub number 60 here. great production value!! how only 60 subs???

I just started uploading recently, so my videos haven't been up for very long. I have a bunch more lined up and will upload them as I finish them and hope the algorithm finds my channel. But thank you! I appreciate that.

So cool

[@J.T.Engineering]

Thank you! I would highly recommend this build. Its pretty awesome!

[@dedollebroer3653]

@@J.T.EngineeringI will, I am printing it now

[@J.T.Engineering]

@@dedollebroer3653 Excellent. Good luck!

You’re a 3D printing prodigy.

I wouldn't go that far! I'm learning though!

some design/execution facts. servos do NOT go at the tail.! the tail is heavy because of the servos, and because the vert-stabs are over-large.! CF is HEAVY.! putting a CF spar in the wing aft-of the cg is the OPPOSITE of smart. the main spar SHOULD be located at thirty percent of chord.! the wing halves are SUPPOSED to be structurally linked, VIA the main spar.! the mass of aileron servos SHOULD be located forward-of thirty percent of chord, and as far Inboard as is practical. servos should be installed such that they do NOT protrude from the wing/fuse. it is the opposite of smart to have zero airflow going over the esc (or the motor).! the wingspan is excessive. it should be roughly equal to 133 percent of the fuselage length. the chords of the control surfaces are 'small'. the trailing edge of the elevator should be a straight line.

The designer on thingaverse said it was copied from a balsa kit. I think it flies great! It's actually one of my favorite planes I have in my fleet. It's not a perfect design, but a great beginner plane for someone wanting to learn how to 3D print a RC airplane. Rudders would be nice though. But she's fun!

@daviddavids2884 where the hell do you get your info? Servos can go into tail, they can go anywhere. The Closer they Are to the control surface, the stiffer the connection Is. Over-large vertical stabs? No such thing. Just means it will be more stable. CF heavy? The whole purpose of using carbon fiber Is its strenght/weight ratio. Its incredibly light. Wingspan should be 133%. Smaller wings=better roll rate but higher wingloading. Longer Wings Are less manueverable but have lighter wing loading(lower stall Speed)depending on aspect ratio. There's no such thing as too long of a span
