thingiverse

Important note: It's only test parts! PLA: Canopy and a front part of the fuselage showing the nice external structure with its louvers and the practical internal structure with extra compartment for the battery. LW-PLA: Modified horizontal stabilizer design for weight reduction. All important print settings are described in detail in the user guide linked below. Additional Cura project files (see pictures) including detailed print settings and gcode are available here: https://www.rc3dmarket.com/editor/editor-image/5/20220426-Howard-DGA5-Test-Files.zip Version 2.2 of the Howard DGA-5 "IKE" allows to (optionally) insert a carbon fiber pipe into the wing as extra robustness margin for cutting flight maneuvers. Some parts of the landing gear are reinforced as well and slightly increased louver openings in the fuselage further improve the scale impression. Last but not least, the engine side pull was increased to improve the take-off behavior. All details can be found in the user guide (see link below).
