Sopwith Camel Remix

UPDATED: F3 and F4 (added cuts for captive nuts and cabin latch) + revised tail skid. Remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3951370 See https://sopwithcamel3dmodel.wordpress.com/ for full assembly and print instructions. NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE 1.25 (1/8 SCALE) VERSION ONLY! Guns and dummy motor remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4228878 Pilot remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3065972. These files are additions to or replacements for the originals. Both wings and everything aft of F4 is LW-PLA, as is the hump and pilot figure. Otherwise it will not balance without tons of weight in the nose. Print Hump and Pilot with some infill. Glue the bottom 2 captive nuts behind the firewall before gluing the firewall to the plane! The top 2 go on the battery tray. Glue the ESC bracket on the front of the firewall and secure the ESC with the 2 cable ties. Use 5x5x5 magnets to secure the cowl. Use 3mm screws and nuts to secure the motor mount. With my setup PLA+ was fine for the motor mount. If your motor is going to run hotter than 45 degrees then perhaps PETG would be better. Use 4mm screws and washers to secure the wheels. The extended motor mount and cowl will let this plane balance correctly with a 3548 840kv motor, 40A ESC, 2200mah 3s battery and a 12x7 wooden prop. Mine came out at 1680gms painted, which translates into a cube wing loading of 8.5. So really only intermediate/experienced pilots!
