Fully 3D printed modular RC Sailplane.

cults3d

This is a high-performance 48 inch wingspan sailplane that I designed myself, boasting cutting-edge technology and innovative features. Every component was meticulously crafted using advanced 3D printing techniques with PLA material, ensuring precision and durability. The wing has undergone rigorous test flights, but the fully assembled plane remains to be tested for its full capabilities. The wing is equipped with an Eppler 214 airfoil, a highly efficient design that sets it apart from others in its class. Two files were updated on May 18, 2013: Vert_stab and Fuselage_tail. A minor tweak was made to the vertical stabilizer by carefully removing material at the bottom of the control linkage channel. To further enhance functionality, I added a feature to the fuselage tail part that allows for easy trapping of the sheath end of flexible control cables using two set-screws, eliminating the need for cumbersome cementing methods and ensuring smooth operation.
