Bubble Canopy for FT Spitfire RC plane

thingiverse

This is a canopy I made for my FliteTest FT_Spitfire RC Airplane (https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-spitfire-build). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmXtP1M0wGs This will probably work with any plane of similar dimensions, however this version is designed with holes for the BBQ skewer that holds the powerpod in place. That part could be easily cut off, though. I also added a tab on the back top of the cockpit to go into a hole I cut into the former. I actually, don't remember what I was thinking when I designed the cockpit to be removeable. I do have some lights under it on that plane, but it's not like I need to access them at any point. As you can see this isn't the best print as there is an airgap between the inner and outer walls that's a bit uneven. I could have spent more time dialing in the print settings, but this print worked well enough for my intended purpose. The dimensions of the final part should be about 112mm long. It's made to fit on a fuselage that's about 2.5" or around 63mm wide.
