This minimalistic RC plane has been designed based on past experience building and flying similar sized and shaped planes. I have built them off more traditional materials (EPS foam, balsa wood) previously, these materials usually yield a lighter model. Now, this is my attempt at getting them 3d printed. The one in the picture is around 1kg weight including the battery. This should be OK to fly with a 300W electric motor. No landing gear. Launch from your not dominant hand and land on plane's belly after cutting power completely. For this prototype I used the below components: 9g servos (HXT900 from HK) - 4x required (aileron1, aileron2, rudder, elevator) 30A ESC with BEC 2826 1100kV outrunner 9x6 propeller (may need to downgrade to 9x4.7) If underpowered I will try a bigger motor and ESC 2200mAh 3S LiPo battery Any 6-channel radio and receiver should work (prototype using Futaba T6J) Please note: - This plane has yet to be test flown How I printed it: - Creality Ender 3S1 printer - Regular PLA 200`C with 60`C bed for fuse nose + fuse mid section + wingtip + lid + battery tray - Ailerons + aileron caps + fuse tail section + tail feathers on LW PLA (eSUN ePLA LW @ 210`C with 60`C bed and flow reduced to 50%) Prototype printed with no regard for fine detail. I pushed the printer to 200mm/s and still got decent dimensional accuracy. Glued parts with Loctite Extreme Glue (more flexible than CA, seems to bond really well with plastic). For generic versions of this glue, it may help to know this one brand contains trimethoxyvinylane+amines. Have at it!
