RG65 RC Sailboat Keel

thingiverse

Here is my RC RG65 Sailboat with a custom Keel featuring a horizontal stabilizer that I designed and 3D printed using PLA. However, I recommend using a slightly stronger and more flexible material than PLA to achieve the desired level of flexibility. Flexible premium PLA or PETG would be ideal choices, while ABS could also work well. The keel's bottom should be able to flex approximately 1.5 cm without breaking, allowing it to absorb shocks and stresses during use. I've added two 2 mm diameter connectors at the bottom, each 10 mm tall and spaced 15 mm apart, which can be used to attach a weight that matches our profile design. If you have any suggestions for improving this model, please let us know!
