ATTENTION: Maiden flight reveals the thrust angle error, updates coming soon. DeHavilland Mosquito. Original 3D model: https://grabcad.com/library/de-havilland-dh-98-mosquito-1 Wingspan - 600mm Weight of printed parts - 310g Work in progress; if you print it and fly it, provide feedback and suggestions for improvements. I designed it to utilize old racing quadcopter components. This uses 2205 to 2306 size motors. These motors typically deliver 1kg+ thrust each, so it should have unlimited vertical flight capability. It will require 5-6 inch props. It is designed to fit a 1300-1500mah 4 cell battery, 3 or 4 9g servos (rudder optional) and there's an option to fit a Hs1177 style FPV camera in the nose. You'll need 6mm carbon tube for the wing spars and fuselage spine. An ice cream stick (also known as a paddlepop stick in Australia) is required for the tailplanes. Space inside is tight, and you may have to get creative to fit an FPV antenna in there. The wing profile and area are straight from the original model, but not optimized for RC models, so it might not have much lift. Depending on how well it goes, I may create another wing at a later stage. This is a challenging print, requiring your printer to be calibrated. Advanced knowledge of your slicer settings is essential. Overhangs and support structures have been minimized, but you must follow the printing instructions for it to work successfully. Recommended printer size: 200x200x180. It might just fit on 180x180x120. You can print the elevator and aileron hinges with flexible filament. If you use something else for the hinges, you will need to fill the gaps with something; I'm sure you'll figure it out. Option parts: Nose HS1177 fits an FPV camera the same size as a HS1177. Short cowl allows you to grip the motor to change props. Motor mount thick has a thicker base and is for mounting the motor without a motor cowl. Covers for the elevator and rudder servos have a deep version, depending on your servo which will fit best.
