Mini Skywalker

thingiverse

I designed this model according to a Skywalker pdf drawing and scaled it down for 3D printing. I've made several upgrades to make it suitable for FPV flight. After designing the plane, I used it for FPV flight for hours and was extremely happy with its performance. The wings are made of foam cutouts with a wing span of 1280mm. The tail features a 10mm carbon rod. The total model length is 900mm. It has a 7-inch propeller powered by a 1200kv motor. I placed the CG point in its optimal position, even using a single 2200mah 3S battery, which provides enough power for flight and FPV. However, two 2200mah batteries can be used for longer flight times. The print settings are already configured in the attached gcode files. I designed it to minimize support usage, but you can also print all parts without any support. The motor mount is located at P9, while the elevator and rudder installation points are at P10 and P11 respectively. The landing skid is positioned at P12. You can view the finished model here. As an update on December 14th, 2019, I've uploaded a 3D printed wing that you can download and print out if needed. For optimal results, use recommended settings: 3% infill, 0.35mm width, and 0.20mm height. You can also access the gcode files.
