Thanks😊 I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Sabre. I’m really happy with the way it flies and it looks so good in the air. You should do a olive drab RDAF version.

Thanks 🙂👍

Thanks. The big turbine powered Saab Draken is only a personal project. It is not for sale.

4.3 kg is ready to fly except fuel. The fuel tank can hold 0.8 liters. So at launch the model weights 5.1 kg. You can follow my Instagram for more info: instagram.com/hammer_design_3dprinted_planes?igsh=MWxkNnJ5N2J3eXdpYg%3D%3D&

Tank was empty. I had launched with a half full tank.

@@michaelghammer oh ok got you 👍🏻 nice flame out landing 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks 🙂

Thank you 🙂👍

Thanks 🙂👍 It sounds even better in real life 😁

Hi. I have no idea what the speed was but I do know that I wasn´t using 100% power at any point during the flight. I´m pretty sure that the model can carry additional weight. Maybe 1000g

Thanks 🙂👍

Thanks 🙂👍 At the moment I don’t know if I will rework the files for a future release. That depends on the interest. It would take a lot of work to get the model ready for a release.

@@michaelghammer I have a lot of interest, I would be willing to pay for the files. Regards

Thank you very much. I’m pretty stoked myself 😊 And many hours flying f3k gliders really paid off after that flame out 😅

The F-100 is progressing well. I’m testing the final assembly right now. It will be released late autumn or early winter.

Thanks 😊 I only know of one other designer who designs 3D printed turbine jets. So it’s pretty cutting edge. If you like the Draken, you can print a 50% version made for 50mm edf. It is available from 3DLabPrint.com

Vielen Dank 😊 70mm edf Draken? Vielleicht in der Zukunft… 😉

Takker 😊Det var en ret vild oplevelse.

Thank you for your encouragement 🙂

No glass or coating of any kind. Just some spray can paint. Turbine is situated at the rear with the exhaust cone protruding from the tail section. You can find more info on my instagram. Search for Hammer Design 3DPrinted Planes

No problems whatsoever. At one of the botched up launches, the model ended up sliding 25-20 meters before the turbine had spooled down enough for the model to stop.

The landing was arguably the best part of the flight.

Just what I was thinking when I flew the model 😃 First time ever flying a turbine powered jet.

Ah, nevermind, I see that the info is on Thinginverse.

Thanks 🙂 Make sure to watch the video of Kevinkal flying his F-104: ua-cam.com/video/B5ilhvj9iVM/v-deo.htmlsi=KedUUJkSt6wy6vrt

Great to hear 🙂👍 I’m currently working on a F-100 which will be released later this year.

How about a me-262?

Mange tak 🙂 Ja, den flyver rigtigt fint. Meget forudsigelig og ingen unoder.

I used a 4S1800mAh Turnigy battery.

Thank you so much 🙂

Thanks Pat 🙂👍 The F-100 is such an elegant jet. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how fast the F-104 goes together. You can print and assemble it in a week.

Thanks Vaughn. Great to hear that the extra effort was worth it. Have fun with your Starfighter.

You´re quite right. But it actually flies really well. Very predictable and well behaved. I really enjoy flying it.

Thanks 🙂

Thank you 🙂 I´ve already started a thread at RC Groups: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4508713-F-100-Super-Sabre-for-50mm-edf Feel free to join.

Some time in the autumn or early winter 2024. 3DLabPrint.com will sell the files.

😄

Thank you for noticing. I lost the first nose cone in flight and never found it again. It had a nice yellow band around it and black arrows to match the tail.

And the exhaust cone is also missing. But hey, it´s a prototype 🙂

@@michaelghammer That's indeed a nice combination on the nose and tail.

Indeed! I also flew the prototype of the F-100 Super Sabre and will upload a video of that flight as well.

I’m aware of the fuselage producing a lot of lift. But I didn’t know that the canopy in particular contributed to the lift. Interesting. I will do a TF-104 version in the future and it will be interesting to see if it affects the CG of the model as on the real TF-104

@@michaelghammer It will be the same, size does not matter in aerodyanmic stability. I have both TF- and F-104, both have a length of 1 m (without pitot tube), CG of the TF is 28 mm behind the wingroot, CG of the single seater is 8 mm behind the wingroot.

@AcroAirwolf I know. A simple scale chuck glider of an Airbus 380 will have the same CG as the real thing.

@@michaelghammer A simple way to estimate the postion of the CG is to check the position of the main landing gear of the real one. When you have a plane with nose wheel it´s right in front of the main landing gear. The distance between CG and main landing be can´t be large, because the aerodynamic forces of the elevator will not be able to rotate it, when the distance is too large.

Clever and true 🙂👍

It does! It’s the secret sauce to getting a Starfighter to fly well. Check out the glide tests I did when I was developing the model: ua-cam.com/video/ZzpkrksX9k8/v-deo.htmlsi=EQtglg3kNkrhbYmv

Hey Evan Please contact me via email michaelghammer(at)gmail.com and I will find a way to get the user guide to you.

Hi Christer. I´m very pleased that you enjoy printing and flying my Draken. Happy pilots are the best reward. Thank you. Regarding your memory card problem, I think you should test different USB-memory sticks and maybe test with a SD card as well. I have a X1 myself and has experienced that the printer made little pauses with one particular memory card. When I switched cards the pauses disappeared.

@@michaelghammer Hi again Michael ! Thanks for a fast reply, the problem is most occuring when I copy a hole library but if I take on file at a time it don´t fail and because not all files are haunted I can probably live with it. Now I have just one big question left, if you are planning any more airplane from the Swedish airfors "smörgåsbord" were my highest wish a model of the flying "barrel" J-29 Tunnan your next project. Best Regards Christer

@@christersoderhall8479 Hi Christer I don´t have any plans to do the J-29. Not because I don´t like it, but because your fellow countryman Krister Flodin already made a great Tunnan model. I wouldn´t be able to do a better one, so just download his files here: modelworks.se/product/j29-tunnan/ And when you´re done with the j-29 you should try my F-104G Starfighter. It´s such a great flying model. Have fun, Michael

Thank you for supporting my work. The Shinden is a very special aircraft and very few people have succeded in designing a model that flies. So the idea of converting my old Shinden model into a new 3D printed one, has crossed my mind. I will do some design work in my head and see how it turns out…

Hi, The Saab Draken is only available as files for 3D printing. But do check out prices of 3D printers. You can find many very good printers for less than $250. Or buy a used one. Once you have it the possibilities are endless.

Thanks. It´s my 200% size Wasp. The Wasp is no longer in production, but I still have a few that I fly on a regular basis. Here´s an old video of the original: ua-cam.com/video/fvh8zItjPy0/v-deo.html

Thanks 🙂👍 X31 is super cool. Keep it light and it should fly well.

@@michaelghammer Thanks !

Thanks Thomas. Wait till you see it with markings and weathering 😜

Don’t know yet. This was just the first flight test.

Thank you 🙂👍 Much appreciated.
