Cheetah glider (LIDL brother!)

thingiverse

No more LIDL in stock... no problem let's go Cheetah ;-) It's a full incidence version with a 3D printed mechanism allowing to recover 5 cm of wing span and to hide all the servo stuff inside the central part of the wings. Some magnets do the locking job... This a simple and (hopefully) elegant wingeron conversion for a Cheetah glider. The idea is to hide the servos inside the central part of the wing. The two wings are ratating around a 4mm carbon fiber tube inserted into a 6mm OD / 4mm ID aluminum tube. At the tips of the carbon tube are glued two small 2mm screws. At one end of each aluminum tube is glued a 4mm neodyme magnet which is enoug to keep the wings in place. To insert the aluminum tube into the EPP wings I desgned a jig. Screw it on a flat piece of wood. Sharpen the tip of a long aluminum tube and use it as drill. Insert the sharpened tube into the jig, rotate it into the wing... The servo arms shall be printed too. Insert a small piece of 2mm steel rod...
