PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION FROM ''THING FILES'' NOW.\r\n\r\nThe location of the correct center of gravity (CG) has been found; check out the picture!\r\nFlight videos are available at:\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur1IY8GNQqk\r\nhttps://youtu.be/-P_UUdS791M\r\n\r\nUPDATE(2019/4/28):\r\nThe dimension of the canard bridge has been changed;\r\nFactory files for Simplify 3D have been added too.\r\n\r\nHere are some key specs:\r\nWingspan: 930mm\r\nTake off weight should be controlled around 970g\r\nWing area is approximately 0.17m^2\r\nAirfoil used is NACA-25112\r\n\r\nRecommended setup includes:\r\n40A ESC\r\n2306 motor (2400kv)\r\n5x4x3 prop\r\n1300-1600mah 4s Lipo battery \r\n\r\nIf you'd like a differential canard version, please leave a comment below.\r\nEvery detail has been carefully designed and considered before sketching. My ultimate goal is to create an efficient FPV platform made entirely of 3D printed materials. This design is actually a 75% scale version of my original concept.\r\n\r\nFrom what I've learned, the forward swept wing configuration will provide outstanding aerodynamic performance in subsonic flight. The canards are designed to make the aircraft more stable on the pitch axis; why not use horizontal stabilizers instead? Canards produce positive lift while pitching up, but horizontal stabilizers create negative lift during this motion - it's all about efficiency.\r\n\r\nI'm a college student studying aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois. Your support would be greatly appreciated; just some helpful tips will make me very happy.\r\n\r\nImportant note: This plane does not have internal structures built-in. The infill structure is recommended to use Fast Honeycomb in Simplify 3D, and the infill percentage should not exceed 2%
