Hyperlite Glide Shoe - Arm Skid/Guard/Protector

thingiverse

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS FIRST! I designed this part based on the original glide frame design (first batch). I have gotten reports that some of the newer Glide frames are cut slightly larger and may or may not have as much chamfering of the edges. Some people have reported good results by scaling the model up! *I have not tested this part with any of the newer glide frames sold on fpvcycle.com* A shoe for your Hyperlite Glide! (arm skid/guard/protector) The arms on the Glide frame are about 9 mm wide; too narrow for foam landing pads commonly used by many FPV pilots. These shoes will protect your arms and hardware from damage, as well as well give you ~8 mm of ground clearance! The 7 mm hole in the bottom will allow you to access the motor's shaft screw for removal of the bell without removal of the entire motor! Expect these to add about ~12 to ~16 grams to your all up weight, depending on infill. Kabab says not to use tpu shoes on the arms, but Kabab has incentive to sell you more arms now doesn't he??? The choice is yours, I'm only here to provide you with options. ;) My prints come out at 4 grams each with 100% infill and 2.7 grams each with 50% infill.
