I like this idea too

You can stack flat templates to 3d print with a .2 mm gap with ironing and and peel them apart after printing, but only if they're designed to be the same size or fit in the foot print of the one below it. A little bit of design magic to do fewer prints would make this very convenient.

Printing a FLIGHT CONTROL BOARD is way above my "Pay Grade" !

do you have any recommendation of 3d printed planes for beginner?

I like the idea of a big ol zip file of STL’s as well as the source files for those of us that can utilize them.

3D printed plans are an intriguing idea. I'm not sure that the benefits (template durability, no page scaling challenges, no need to cut out the paper template after printing) outweigh the drawbacks (bulky, requires a 3D printer) as compared to paper plans for most people.

Great idea, But if you could cut down on the number of templates. eg: for the bigger templates in the dead space have some of the smaller templates.Maybe even colour coding each template. Hope that makes sense.

I'm interested. $25 seems a bit high - but I'd probably still go for it.

Great idea! I’m definitely interested

I make foam board planes and print 3d parts like you do for motor mounts etc. Mine are simpler though, more like the Experimental Airlines style. Giving the stl files to 3d print is a great idea but I think there will be a couple of problems. I find to cut foam board, I need to keep the craft knife at a very flat angle to get a clean cut and with it at that flat angle any tight curves are going to be problematic and you have a few of those. The second problem is I think there is a high chance you will end up cutting into the PLA itself, hand cutting foam board is really better done against a metal edge. You also mentioned the difficulty in getting accurate to scale plans. Plans are great for balsa models where the construction is largely air and you can see through to the plan underneath but that doesn't work for foam, you can't see the plan anyway. What I would need would be dimensions only - i.e. this line is 30cm long and at an angle of 10 degrees, it doesn't need to be to scale. I would then just copy those dimensions onto the foam board (as I do at the moment) and start cutting. Keep up the good work, great channel!! Cheers!

Great idea

Gr8 idea i'd buy one or two

Yes Please. I think this a deal at 25$

Count me in as interested. Printing the templates as borders only with no top or bottom layer and using infill will save you time and money and still maintain the accuracy. Keen to see where this goes. I would like to try the plank design as it's one type.i have not tried yet.

Great idea, count me in

That’s a great idea. I sometimes print templates on a 3d printer cause it usually ends up being faster than a regular printer 😂 (no joke). That being said, personally I don’t have the patience for printing big stuff. The motor mounts and stuff would be fine, but I’d just wing it for the rest (pun intended). 25 USD would be too much for me though. That swappable dji mount with the dummy load is genious btw 👌

Yes, great idea. A non-tiled version of the drag queen pdf would be great as well. I can use that on my CNC Needle Cutter. Thanks

The idea is great! Just keep in mind that for $25, you can buy a 3D-printed plane. If I had your skills, I’d try to make the design modular. That way, after spending $25 initially, the rest of the modules could be more affordable. Just a thought!

Interested. Excellent idea!

3D printed templates is a great idea and time saver! It addresses several issues with sharing foam sheet planes plans. 👏👏👏Well done. Thanks for sharing!

That's pretty cool, I'm interested in the forward swept 250g wing

Great idea. I would be interested in buying the STLs.

Excellent idea!

Seems like a great idea. Can also use the file to cut the foam on a CNC

3D printed templates is a neat idea. I'd buy a set. Definitely stealing this idea for sewing patterns.

I tried making the Drag Queen and had many issues hand cutting it because of the curves. I’d suggest maybe exploring the free plans that Flite Test creates. I did their Mini F22 and their plans were well made with some nice ways of cutting in the areas that fold over and such. I printed your STLs for the Drag Queen and they were great. I’d pass along the link for the Flite Test plans I used but UA-cam tends to hide links in comments. Interested in what you have? Absolutely. The plans need to be refined some. It’s a great start though and I’m thankful for your efforts in the videos and helping new folks get into sub-250 builds. You’re a champion!

you consider releasing your plans? im sure people would be very interested if you wanted to sell the plans

Do you sell ur kits?

I love when my old x8’s get retired - all that means is 8 planes will be joining the fleet asap. Lol

You should put a flight controller in that and make it a tail sitter

I sub i hope you get to a 1000

Spin props outwards you will have more control. Unconventional twin motor prefer outwards spin.

Appreciate your tenacity to get this in the air! Those big props with a hand toss were scary. Glad you still have your ear intact... Interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing!

She's giving me Osprey vibes... Maybe use two sheets for the plane sporting these?

You should set that thing up as a tail sitter lol it definitely have plenty of prop it could probably hover for an hour 😅😂

Fun video today! Sometimes it good to push the limits and extremes. On that note, what do you think about a sub 250 sailplane (max wingspan two fome boards) and a really small efficient motor that barely keeps aloft between thermals 😊 Google sophisticated lady sail plane RC

you want some airplane with those props?

It sounds just like my BlitzRCWorks V-22 Osprey VTOL in forward flight with the huge props, lol

This guy as the same attitude as me. Of course I am not burdened by all of that knowledge and experience….

I’d suggest naming her the Tasmanian Devil. On another topic, I made an attempt on making the Drag Queen. I have feedback on it based on my experience with giving it a go. I’ve noticed you have some contact info on the website. With your permission I’ll reach out.

Really like your content - asking again but hopping I'm not bugging you - what laser cutter are you using? I know its old - but that means it might be available cheap.

Looks like an Osprey.

Nice job, I'd watch some live builds. 😀

Seems like something you'd want to do an underhand toss from near the rear of the fuse. What a monster of a plane though, great flight

First !!

Hi there, i'm interested in the methods you use to laser cut the foam-board, is it a diode or Co2 style and how do you overcome the melting of the foam while cutting? Thanks

Love your builds and your creativity! Thank you for sharing this plan with us! What size 4 blade prop are you using? Looking fwd to following your channel ! Thanks again !

Good Morning Bret, for your KF wings fold, what percentage are you using? Looks like 30-40%, as opposed to the standard 50%. Thank you
