<h3>Swappable thermal wing for the Lukisegler rc-glider</h3><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/UqjJgUcAXaQ"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This wing is designed for the Lukisegler rc-glider (<a href="https://www.printables.com/de/model/76098-lukisegler-electric-rc-glider">https://www.printables.com/de/model/76098-lukisegler-electric-rc-glider</a>) to give it better thermal gliding properties.</p><p>You can swap it with the already existing wing or print out the fuselage (link above) and use this wing instead of the original one.<img class="image_resized" style="width:34.51%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/260412/rich_content/692d69e1-5516-46ed-9f11-ab2a3a08f268/lukisegler1.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2279c3d278-bbd7-49ff-b128-ea4f0ca16c16%22%2C%22w%22%3A1678%2C%22h%22%3A1852%7D"></p><p>With the new wing the whole model has the following technical data:</p><ul><li><strong>Span:</strong> approx. 2650 mm</li><li><strong>Body length:</strong> approx. 1000 mm</li><li><strong>Take-off weight (LW-PLA):</strong> approx. 900 g</li><li><strong>Take-off weight (PLA / PETG):</strong> approx. 1500 g</li><li><strong>Drive:</strong> brushless motor</li><li><strong>Propeller :</strong> folding propeller</li><li><strong>Battery:</strong> 3S-4S Lipo 1000-1300 mAh</li><li><strong>Controls:</strong> elevation / rudder / aileron / motor</li><li><strong>Center of gravity:</strong> 50-55 mm behind the profile nose</li><li><strong>Rudder deflections:</strong> 20-25 °</li></ul><figure class="image image-style-align-right image_resized" style="width:59.94%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/260412/rich_content/40bf008c-526a-4c0d-ae24-8909785e2881/lukisegler_cg.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22b9d51071-5203-4352-a53e-0dcee50a3f35%22%2C%22w%22%3A1476%2C%22h%22%3A1280%7D"></figure><p>I recommend to print the wing in <strong>LW-PLA</strong> (lightweight PLA) to save a maximum of weight!</p><p>The center of the wing and some other parts must be printed in normal <strong>PLA </strong>or PETG for stability reasons.</p><p>The construction of the parts is designed for a minimizing the amount of retracts necessary when printing. This minimizes stringing especially when using PETG or LW-PLA.</p><p>The individual parts should also be printed individually. Otherwise the stringing will be too strong and the post-processing of the parts will be too time-consuming.</p><p><strong>Modifiers</strong> are used in the print files! These are essential for the stability and for the structure of the individual parts! The surfaces for connecting the individual parts are made by using <strong>modifiers</strong> .</p><p>The complete building-instructions for the fuselage can be downloaded from my website:&nbsp;<br><a href="https://c-arts-modelle.de/carts_modelle_web/fluggeraete/carts_lukisegler/carts_lukisegler.html">https://c-arts-modelle.de/carts_modelle_web/fluggeraete/carts_lukisegler/carts_lukisegler.html</a><br><i>(It is a german website, but the translator in Chrome or Chromium will do quite a good job!)</i></p><p>The essential building techniques for the new wing are the same.</p><p>This is a overwiew of the parts:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/260412/rich_content/97552165-38b9-4737-a2ed-1bad4346c8ef/zeichnung_01.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22418672da-4665-49dd-b9c2-a79bd1553f60%22%2C%22w%22%3A4000%2C%22h%22%3A1370%7D"></figure><p>I have also added a part list where you can see the used printing materials.</p><h3>Additional parts for the construction</h3><p>Carbon rods or fiberglass rods as well as various adhesives are required for the construction.</p><h4>Adhesives</h4><ul><li>Superglue, low viscosity</li><li>Medium-viscosity superglue</li><li>5-minute epoxy resin</li></ul><h4>Carbon rods</h4><ul><li>Carbon rod 2 mm: 4 pieces (1150 mm length)</li><li>Carbon rod 2 mm: 4 pieces (950 mm length)</li><li>Carbon rod 2 mm: 4 pieces (100 mm length)</li><li>Carbon rod 10mm: 2 pieces (200 mm length)</li><li>Carbon rod 3 mm: &nbsp;2 pieces (80mm length)</li></ul><h4>Screws</h4><ul><li>Wood screws 2x10 mm (d x h): 8 pieces</li></ul><h3>Electronics</h3><h4>Servos</h4><ul><li>Micro servos: 2 pieces (maximum dimensions (L x W x H) 23.5 x 10 x 24 mm)</li></ul><p>I use high quality servos with metal gears. These can cope with even greater loads (e.g. in the event of undesired contact with the ground) without damage. The additional costs for this are worthwhile.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>How I set up Prusaslicer for my printer:</h3><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/wvLSVYyUMD8"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Build videos:</h3><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/GG-5zM8Rx4g"></oembed></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/fCobiSXu_Mc"></oembed></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/wtqrD6Mi77Q"></oembed></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/uBMlVQR9nPw"></oembed></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/YO1ByYrlepU"></oembed></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/B9K1hrAQ5LA"></oembed></figure>
