Classic Boeing RC Airliner BUILD | FLIGHT | CRASH...

[@BellyUpFishGarage]

My pops flew these for both EAL and FDX. I’m going to have to build him one to hang in his office and one to fly. Can’t wait for your settings video! Really appreciate what you’re doing for the hobby!

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

[@alanshearing7515]

Welcome back Troy . Great project looks fantastic in the air .

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you! I love this classic airliner, it’s so cool to see it flying

[@spitfire7617]

To avoid maiden crashes I install an Aura 5 Lite in most of my planes as it keeps the plane level and once I get to a safe altitude I switch it off to trim the plane. It also has an assisted launch feature for hand launching that gives me enough time to launch the plane myself and then get back to the sticks.

[@TroyMcMillan]

I saw your post on the forum! I’m checking it out now. Thank you for the heads up!

New to 3D Printing and enjoying your videos, I see this is your latest video and is almost a year old. Hope you are well and haven't given up. Look forward to more videos in the future.

[@classifiedmp]

Really like the 727. I've never 3D printed a plane and this one might be my first. Would like to scale it up by 50% to slow it down and better visibility.

[@TroyMcMillan]

That was the goal for this plane to inspire people to build it as a first plane. It is small cheap and easy to build to get into the hobby. That is the beauty of this hobby you can definitely try and scale it up in Cura to print it out a bit larger you may have to do some custom fab to get some of the electronics to fit.

Perhaps you should mention that the servos should be centred before being glued into position, particularly the aileron servos. Most new builders might not remember to do this. Otherwise, I’m really enjoying your videos and looking forward to print the 727. I most likely will enlarge it to accept a 64 mm and light weight retracts.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya that is a good point actually to make sure the servo is centered. That will be cool if you enlarge it send me a video if you do that will be cool to see.

[@RobloxiaIntlAerospaceGroup]

Very nice aircraft, one main problem that i have with it is that the engine exhaust is a bit too big. Maybe use smaller edfs in the other two engine pods or move it in the no. 2 engine intake. It just really bothers me. Other than that, its an absolutely beautiful model.

[@rudolfarenstorff3326]

is the EDF less efficient because there is no direct intake from the front? or it doesn't really matter?

[@TroyMcMillan]

It doesn’t matter here. There are intake vents all along the underside of the plane so the EDF is getting plenty of airflow. I also did thrust tests to make sure that the EDF had max performance

[@ksweens01]

He's back! Are they any planes for a video going into how you design for LW PLA in Fusion 360? I'm especially interestedly in how you make panel lines and the internal structures of the wings/fuselage.

[@TroyMcMillan]

There are a few videos out there you have to search for them and they may not be specific to airplanes but you can use the same concept for airplanes.

[@flying_free]

I do enjoy the convenience of re-printing parts over sourcing them locally or online. I too have crashed a 3d printed version on the maiden and it hurt, but pain is learning and I learned a lot. I will take a 3d printed plane/ 3d printed drone over a factory one any day when it is just flying for fun and pushing limits. When I want great video or all the features, I prefer my DJI drone or my micro turbo timber.

The 727 was designed and built before the McD-D take-over, before accountants supplanted engineers. The 727 is a great airframe.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Totally agree, it’s a classic airframe.

[@pi.actual]

Holy cow Troy you have taken this ball and run with it! I bought a P1S about six months ago and started out with Authentikit flight-sim stuff then on to R/C with 3DLab Cub, then Stearman and just started the B-17. Looks like another Boeing for my next project because I am definitely building this puppy. Are you going to design a DC-3 - please, please please...

[@TroyMcMillan]

Great choices with build order. The DC-3 is high on my list for next builds for sure.

[@pi.actual]

@@TroyMcMillan Took the Cub for it's maiden flight yesterday, lasted about 14 seconds (ha, ha) but I had already printed out two extra fuselages and a spare wing in anticipation. Problem was the motor mount broke loose.

The Boeing 727 changed short-haul flights, while the Boeing 747 changed the Intercontinental routes.

[@ret737]

Heres a tip that works for me during handlaunches if you own Spektrum. Use an AR636 receiver with SAFE and if you have the Spektrum programmer use the Eflite 64mm F-15 template when you reprogram the receiver. Myself and a few club members have used this method in a dozen or more handlaunch planes and with SAFE active during launch the plane will not dive into the ground.

[@marielizysurourcq]

I use CC3D boards for stab and an old DX6i and the springs broke on the left stick, so I just added foam instead (making the stick a bit ... sticky) and I can choose whatever the good angle for my plane for launch and no issue

This is a great tip. Thank you!

Just bought your files. Amazing Job. One question: A 4900KV EDF/3S will have enough power to fly this airplane with a 3s Battery? The PLA version. Are the wheels really glued or did you make something to make them spin? Thanks in advance.

[@TroyMcMillan]

That power system will work just fine for the PLA version. For the landing gear, the rim is glued to the strut and the tire is designed to be printed using PLA. The tire is not supposed to be glued. It is designed to spin around the rim.

Hi Troy, I've just finished printing Fuselage 1 STL, what an amazing job you did making a spiralized print, can't imagine the hours to put together the model. Can't wait to see the end result! Quick question, what's the recommended KV for the EDF? I bought a 4300KV, would that make the job? Again, kudos for the design, don't want to diminish the work from other vendors but having a no retraction print is freaking amazing!

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you for the kind words. It did take a lot of time do design this with vase mode but it was my main motivation for the entire build to make it the easiest plane to print on the market. Yes the 4300kv will work great that is the EDF I used I also used a 4900kv on my prototype build. Have fun with the build!

[@sandasylum2503]

I’m sure you’ve mentioned this before but I have an ender 3 I want to upgrade the extruder to direct and start making planes.

Are you using a stabilized receiver? Surely that would help significantly with launches. Easy to set up self leveling with FrSky stuff. Spektrum not so much from what I've seen (at least not to where you can customize it).

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya it would definitely make hand launch much easier but I don't use any stabilizer receivers in any of my builds.

[@Scradley2241]

I'm mostly impressed with the LW-PLA cleanness. I'm still trying to tune my printer for LW-PLA.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you! Most of the cleanness is due from the design. I designed it to be printed in vase mode so there are no retractions. As long as you have temp and flow you don't need any retraction settings for the entire build.

[@werdnaf]

I'm so happy you're back with another video! Does the EDF make the controls any different? I'm new to the hobby and have only flown a pusher trainer until now.

[@TroyMcMillan]

The EDF actually makes the controls much better. You don't get any left turning tenancy's like P-factor, etc with a prop. That is why this plane works great with not rudder and other prop planes try to turn to the left.

[@ebikefe]

I noticed the EDF is basically enclosed within the fuselage at 4:50 - where is the air flow inlet?

[@whocarescrapsa]

There are opening vents at the bottom of the fuselage.

[@robflyrc]

Very clever EDF position. :-)

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

[@rc-fannl7364]

Looks nice. It just seems these 3d printed planes often have a pretty high stall/glide speed. Something to do with the weight of this type of construction?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya that is where the LW-PLA version really helps a-lot and especially with a build this size you will save 300 grams. This reduces the weight per square inch of wing significantly.

[@thebunkreport]

I'm amazed that a 50mm EDF can power those planes. Looks like it does alright though.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya it works pretty well the 50mm EDF produces 950g of thrust on a 4s battery and the LW-PLA plane is only 780g RTF so it has over a 1 to 1 ratio The PLA FedEx build it was 1100g RTF so just less that a 1 to 1 ratio.

I don't separate the glue. I just find the first seam that is not damaged and cut off the fuse there and sand the edge flat.
