Carbon Cub Part-2: RC 3D Printed Airplane Scratch Build, Red Bull XDubai edition

[@billyjewett5006]

Just watched the real cub with the RedBull Airforce at the Miramar AirShow in San Diego last weekend. It was as impressive as Kirby Chamblis in his Edge540. With a 10mph headwind he could land without hardly any rollout, then he’d take off straight up. So cool in person.

Great Work! You're the Mark Patey of RC planes!

[@chrisbarnes8887]

Looking good so far. While it looks like the fiberglass covered plywood did cut well in the laser there could be room for improvement. Most modern ARF manufacturers do use fiberglass covered plywood but they tint the resin black. It supposedly cut better when tinted a darker color. Keep up the good work though. I enjoy watching your builds.

Thank you

Your technique is the opposite of mine. I use my 3D prints as plugs for my fiberglass or carbon fiber. That way i can make new parts without having to print again. I make a male and female plug. But My planes are only half your size, so it makes sense to do it the way you are. Your builds truly are a work of art when they are done. I stick to making old warbirds because they don't have to look perfect. Making a Cub like yours would be hard. The details are incredible. I can't wait to see it flying! Thanks for sharing your work.

Far from other popular builders only able to make bigger and bigger, each time you improve technicity and quality. Using all new technology and creating your really interesting own making way. Be sure you're famous. Thanks sharing Maestro

Veeeeeery nice video. I really like the housing supports for the fuel tank in TPU. I will use it in the future.

When I laminate plywood, I first impregnate the fiberglass separately with epoxy on polyethylene. After which, using a dry towel, I carefully remove all possible epoxy. Next, I transfer this polyethylene to wood or foam and press it. As a result, we will get the minimum weight. Do not saturate fiberglass directly on wood. It takes in a lot of unnecessary things

Grandios! 👍👍👍

Great work and video editing 😂

Fantastic

You seem to like to build Mike Patey planes.

I am always happy to watch your video's. Nice work here! My question remains. Would you mind sharing what filament you use to print the main fuselage body that you then coat with fiberglass from the inside?

[@markoroolaid]

hi, eSUN pla LW filament

[@HarshwardhanKumar-me6iw]

How many layers of Fiber glass was used for the inside ? by the way so much inspiration to draw from this build !

[@markoroolaid]

Generally 1 layer, but stronger areas 2-3 layers, 200g/m2

[@oficinadomineiro]

PLA petg filament ?

[@markoroolaid]

@@oficinadomineiro which place do you mean exactly?

[@EK-px1cu]

and when will you do full-fledged vacuum molding of the composite? How professional manufacturers do it. the shapes are more adequate than can be made on a 3D printer. a thin layer of glass, foam, glass again. This will greatly reduce weight and greatly increase flight performance. all your models are very beautiful, but they fly quite hard and fall off at the first opportunity

[@Boogie3D]

Be careful with putting Red Bull logo on your airplane as you are not allowed to do that without their permission. 4-5 years ago a lot of RC modellers were having trouble with them.

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you. I have sent a request to Red Bull to use the logo, but have not yet received a response.

[@Boogie3D]

@@markoroolaid Good luck with it then. Previously they always refused such requests.

[@christjanehusacek4911]

Das würde mich brennend interessieren. Ob du das Logo verwenden darfst.
