RC Plane Pilot Seat for Legacy Aviation Muscle Bipe

thingiverse

This is a pilot seat I designed for the Legacy Aviation (Extreme Flight) Muscle Bipe 54''. It fits the pilot bust that comes with the plane, though I designed it for a custom pilot figure I made. Weight is approx. 8 grams. I recommend printing this with PET-G to make it more heat-resistant out in the sun, and also to be able to sand it if you want to paint it. **Print settings:** Nozzle size: 0.4 mm Layer height: 0.15 mm (You can try to use variable layer height to improve the slopes, but thinner layers than 0.15 mm can be difficult to get right with PET-G.) Supports: Yes (I recommend using the "organic" supports in PrusaSlicer 2.6.) The seatbelt you're seeing in the picture wasn't planned when I designed the seat. I just milled out two slots behind the backrest afterwards to attach it. The belt was printed with TPU (95A); you can find the model for it in the downloads section, too. To secure the front ends of the belt, just bend two pieces of 1.5mm steel wire into a "C" shape, poke one end through the holes in the belt, the other through the foam in the cockpit and hook it underneath the wooden struts.
