RC Glider, Airfoil SD 7035

thingiverse

This is another project that will probably never get finished, but I'm sharing it anyway. Maybe someone out there will find something useful in it. The goal was to design a ~2.4M electric glider with a flat wing featuring 5 degrees of dihedral near the tips. The "Fuse" part of the file names stands for Fuselage, also known as the glider's body. Main wing spar: 10mm thick, with an 8mm inside joiner that I would recommend expanding to 6mm and extending its length - the ones shown are too short. Fuselage Boom: 10mm thick. Smaller wing spar: 6mm thick, featuring a 4mm solid carbon rod as the inside joiner. The short wing ribs are where the ailerons and flaps go. The entire rib is included; you just need to break off the trailing edge and use those pieces to build the control surfaces (aileron/flap). In the trailing edge balsa strips, there are four 1mm carbon strips added for extra rigidity and strength. Cheers.
