ATTENTION: Maiden flight shows the thrust angle is wrong, will update soon. DeHavilland Mosquito. Original 3d model: https://grabcad.com/library/de-havilland-dh-98-mosquito-1 Wingspan- 600mm Weight of printed parts- 310g Work in progress, if you print it and fly it, give some feedback, and suggestions for improvements. I designed it to use my old racing quadcopter parts. This uses 2205 to 2306 size motors. These motors typically will deliver 1kg+ thrust each. So it should have unlimited vertical flight. It will take 5-6 inch props. It is designed to fit a 1300-1500mah 4 cell battery, 3 or 4 9g servos (rudder optional) and there is a nose option to fit a Hs1177 style fpv camera. You will need 6mm carbon tube for the wing spars, and fuselage spine. An ice cream stick ( we call it a paddlepop stick, in Australia) for the tailplanes. Space inside is tight, and you may have to get creative to fit an fpv antenna in there. The wing profile and area is straight from the original model, and is not optimised for RC models, so it might not have much lift. Depending on how well it goes, i may do another wing at a later stage. This is a difficult print and you will need to have your printer calibrated. Advanced knowledge of your slicer settings is essential. Overhangs and support structures have been minimised, but you must follow the printing instructions for it to work. Recommended printer size: 200x200x180. Might just fit on 180x180x120. You can print the elevator and aileron hinges with flexible filament. If you use something else for the hinges, you will need to fill the gaps with something, im sure you can figure it out. Option parts: noseHS1177 will fit an fpv camera the same size as a HS1177. Shortcowl allows you to grip the motor to change props. Motormountthick has a thicker base, and is for mounting the motor with no motor cowl. Covers for the elevator and rudder servos have a deep version, depends on your servo which will fit best.
