Boom and Pod RC glider

thingiverse

This is a 3d printed boom and pod glider inspired by Andrew Newton's quite awesome N3utron depron glider(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5QalfCIHXQ&t=6s). Coming from fpv quadcopters, fixed wing has become a huge obsession recently and gliders especially. When I saw the N3utron I knew I had to attempt to make something similar to it. My wing is 3 20" dollar tree foamboard armin sections(5in chord) with one cut in half for the wing tips. It may be a little heavy and I was planning on attempting fly it before I posted this, but I think pretty much regardless there is enough here to make it worthwhile, even if modification is needed. Ill also be posting the stp files as usual, so people can make any modifications they want/need. My tail feathers will also be laser cut 1/8in basswod or balsa. It is designed around the rather common 2212 motor. Not sure what kv Ill use yet, but ill be swinging a 6in, 7in or 8in folding prop with a 35mm spinner. Im using an 8mm carbon arrow by victory archery called the decimator, they are my practice/fun shooting arrows so I used that instead of my expensive beman ics hunters. If you plan on using a smaller diameter arrow, just adjust the stp file accordingly, or ask me and ill be happy to change it quick. As usual my files are released into public domain...go wild. Although if you modify it and make it better, its always helpful to people to post a remix. This is my first attempt at designing a plane so any advice is awesome! Im planning on printing a 1mm thick version and doing a layer or two of fiberglass as well just to save on weight, Ill post up results if it works out. I'll post pics up as I take them and update files as I print and verify fit and features, heres hoping it flies!
