Futura Printed EDF RC model

thingiverse

Hi! This model aircraft has performed her first flight today on 6th. April 2017. Handlaunched easily on a windy day around 20Km/h windspeed. Basicaly it needs bungee rope to take of. If you like my designs, you can support my work on https://www.patreon.com/Gabor3D There are numerous in progress and already finished projectsi in my workshop. More uploads will follow. I suggest to use transparent or natural PLA (using colored PLA was bad idea beacause colored PLA is weaker) and build the fuselage of 1,2 mm thick walls. Use CA glue and use the canopy line as a buildplane during assembly. The canopy is good with 0.4 mm wall. Some canopy parts and the winglets need keeping open faces to be closed objects. I didn't made weight reducing openings, so you have to cut out the fuselage canopy base as you wish. The fuselage if made of 1,2mm thick walls, and weights around 500 gramms without electronics, canopy and stabilizers. The wing weights around 300g and is reinforced with balsa spar in front of the ailerons. The perimeter of wings are 0,4mm thin and reinforced outer surface with 2 layers 30g/m2 glass fiber. Flying weight: 2000g Wingspan: 1030mm EDF kit: Dr. Mad Thrust 1300Watt 70mm Battery: Turnigy 3300mAh 4S Static measurements: 82 ampers Thrust: 1550g
