RC Hydroplane

thingiverse

Here is a 3D printed RC 3-point hydroplane. To assemble the hull, combine the two hull pieces with epoxy and insert wood skewers through the cylinders for added strength. Epoxy was used to bond all components that required gluing. The rudder servo and receiver were salvaged from a Traxxas Stampede. The rudder push-rod was sourced from an old plane. Holes for the prop shaft and rudder push-rod were drilled by hand. Be sure to apply loc-tite to the universal joint screws. The motor was secured to the motor mount using a 14.5 mm wide hose clamp. Hull length: 14.5 inches Beam: 8.5 inches Top Speed: To be determined Motor/ESC: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074Z32CTP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Prop Shaft: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RJC94GJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Propeller: https://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-TRA3834-3834-Propeller-Blast/dp/B0006O5KX2/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=traxxas+propeller&qid=1578182840&s=toys-and-games&sr=1-2 Rudder: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FS2G9KN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Battery: https://www.amazon.com/Tattu-Battery-1300mAh-11-1V-Airplane/dp/B013I9RLVK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1QJOAPT2S5JBM&keywords=1300mah+3s+lipo+battery&qid=1578182874&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=1300%2Ctoys-and-games%2C165&sr=1-4 Universal Joint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X3486DM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
