Flitetest Mini Guinea pig Sled

thingiverse

This is for the FT Mini Guinea Pig, I came up with this design after realizing there was nothing on the market that could protect the underside of the plane. I quickly designed and printed this using 4 top and bottom layers at 10% infill with red PLA. The setup is straightforward with supports in place at the front during printing. I've installed it with standard BBQ skewers, while inside the plane I used plastic straws held in by hot melt glue to guide the skewers through to the other side. This also adds an extra catch for the front nose - not that it needs one. The front can still be removed by taking out the newly installed landing sled and your standard nose skewer. If you find the front doesn't quite touch the nose of the plane, simply heat it up a little and bend it up to reduce drag.
