Schweizer SGS 2-33A Glider

thingiverse

This is a simple model of the Schweizer SGS 2-33A Glider, lasting approximately 1:54 minutes or longer if desired. The original design was intended for use as a training aid at the Comox Cadet Flying Training Centre for flight instructors, and I am now making it available to anyone with access to a 3D printer. The model features a longitudinal hole in the tail section for inserting a metal rod, enabling instructors to demonstrate flight maneuvers without touching the model. A suitable alternative to the original 2.75mm diameter aileron hinge pin from the actual glider can be found at a dollar store, where you can purchase a dish rack and cut rods from it. To create a complete model, you only need to include the left wing, as the right wing is easily mirrored in your preferred printing software. The strut file is symmetrical, allowing you to print two identical struts. For optimal results, I recommend the following: * Printing the fuselage upside down with supports * Printing the wings flat * Printing the struts flat * Printing the vertical stabilizer on its side
