DreamFlight Ahi glider Madstab mount

thingiverse

Two precision-engineered flying stab mounts for the Dreamflight Ahi glider and a single center component are designed to fit seamlessly into place without requiring any modifications to the surrounding foam structure. The tapered design ensures a snug fit, eliminating the need for cutting or trimming of any foam material. One mount features three 2mm holes strategically incorporated into its base, enabling the use of carbon fiber rods that significantly stiffen the tail section. These rods should extend approximately 5-10cm beyond the base and secured in place using expanding foam for optimal stability. For added reinforcement, one center component is ideal for light to medium-stiffening applications, while two outer mounts are required for maximum stiffness and stability. The remaining component is a single center part that fits flush within the Ahi glider, allowing enthusiasts to experiment with different configurations without any structural compromise. To minimize weight while maintaining exceptional strength, I printed these components standing upright with a brim and just 2 walls thick at 15% infill settings. This approach has yielded impressive results, and I am confident that adding two carbon fiber rods will further enhance the overall performance of the flying stab mounts. The next phase in this project involves creating a Cam pulley component, which will be designed to work seamlessly with the existing setup.
