RC Plane - Tractor

thingiverse

Modified my Hybrid 3d printed fuselage with foamboard wing and tail to be a tractor style. This cut down on weight and made CG easier. I used less than (2) 20"x30" Readi-board sheets total for the wing/tail components. The fuselage consists of individual sides that fit together and are then zip tied in place to make it a modular, robust, and easy to repair design. Everything is very easy to print It utilizes a 8mmx500mm carbon spar for tail section and I set it up as a 3 channel for the moment. It flies really really well slow, fast, and glides great. I'll get around at some point to incorporating a rudder. The control services I setup on the wing and tail are a bit large so I'm running 40% rates with 30% expo and it still has a respectable roll rate. - 2212 Motor kit /w 30A ESC (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T1M4Q45?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) - 2200 3s Battery (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVCKHQ8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) - 6x4 Prop (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NSQC442/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - Push Rod/Horn Kit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X7PCV38?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) - (3) 9g Servos (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JY3H4MA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) - Carbon Spar 8mm x 500mm (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WZZJW1S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) - 2212 Metal Motor Mount (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DV4849?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) I printed everything with 5% infill All up flight weight with battery is 622g
