THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE!! Watching you go from printing and building other companies planes was incredible enough. NOW YOU DESIGNED YOUR OWN PLANE!! This is just so sick!!!! God bless dude!
What a beautiful model. The sky is the limit with these printers. The materials get better and better each day. I would love to be able to learn this skill. I need to look for some classes. This 57 year old is still 18 at heart!!!!
Troy, you did it again! Printing started this morning. First the Airbus 321, then the DC-6, now this. Soooo much fun to build and fly. Thanks for all you do. Scott
The first one I built to scale was such a prototype, I wasn’t sure if it would fly! It did, and it’s been a lot of fun doing it again and again. Thank you man!
Lol I have been trying to do the same for awhile now, it is very difficult, and frustrating, I would start very small and slowly work your way up, my first project was a motorised glider that didn’t work very well, then I went to full 3d printed, which was a bad idea, anyway Start low, and go slow Good luck!
I totally agree with there being lots of frustration along the way, ShadowCake. I feel like depending on which plane you do, that can make it even worse. Planes have come a long way over the years, you should give the 3D Printed Cub by 3DLabPrint a try. Truly easy to assemble and fly. And it’s free.
I just wanna say your videos are the BEST educational videos for thin wall printing ever ! They actually go through every setting and show results and you get a great understanding of what setting causes what problem, and for newbies like me to printing that's just invaluable knowledge. And you share every setting unlike some other jokers that pretend to help you but really have other vested interests, you are completely HONEST and that gets you the best rating. Everything I've tested has done precisely what you showed it would. I use two crappy Ender printers, ender 5 and a 5 plus..... The 5 is god but the plus is a fiddly pain in the butt........ My prints improved about 700% after copying your settings and advice. So I THANK YOU , for being one of the few people on utube to be completely honest about every single little issue they have. You really are an awesome person to share such knowledge. Thank you mate from down under. QLD Australia.
Very cool model and idea. I will use it as s A template and made a fiver model of it. Loghter than 3d print. Not so expensive and huge diff in flight. Very cool job !
I really like how the parts have male female joiners, they don't just butt together at the sections. Great design. I wish I had the hanger to store one of these planes.
Excellent from start to finish. There’s a story, you flew the CRJ-900, designed the model, printed it in a very practical way and then flew it. I’ve always loved the ramp appeal of a CRJ, the tailplane anhedral to the ‘mean’ nose down attitude on the ground. Love it.
That is so awesome. Just starting into 3d printing and want to try making one of your planes. What one should I start off with first? I have a Creality K1
Looks really nice! Though Im a bit worried about the landing gears strength. In the video it looks like the only thing keeping them from twisting and coming off is a small screw tapped into the plastic which doesnt look very strong.
I didn't think you'd be able to top your last build...but here you are...topping your last build! Absolutely brilliant! I'd do one thing differently...somehow fashion a suspension in the landing gear to soften landing...but that's just my 2 cents...again, brilliant!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it! I totally agree, my intention is to try to find some aluminum struts with suspension in them to replace the ones on here eventually.
Been saving up to buy an eflite playing but I'm now buying this. I had plans to build a CRJ 900 with foam in a couple months but I'd like to just print this cuz it looks really good. Good job!
I hear you guys!! That’s my absolute favorite plane and I just want it to be so perfect when I finally do! I will definitely do it though. What wingspan would you guys like?
Awesome!! I got to fly N942LR for Mesa Air Group when it was brand new in America West colors!! That was many moons ago! I am looking forward to the build and get this bad boy flying! Thanks for drawing this one up! I just bought the files.
if you can convince yourself to cheat a little from the perfectly scale wing size and airfoil, you can definitely improve the flight performance by thickening the cord and increasing wing area, and also selecting airfoils better suited to model aircraft. With your wing saddle mount system, it would be REALLY cool to test a few different wing designs...
Downloaded the STL files and ordered eSun filament. Can't wait to start printing this beautiful work or art. Thank You Troy for dedicating so much time to creating.
Fitting, since adding plugs and strakes to the 7 was all bombardier did to make the 900. Nobody wonders with that level of innovation why they’re on their way out.
@@adampoulsen5305 they were hardly the first company to stretch an airplane. Innovation doesn’t always mean success. Look at concord and the a380 - incredibly innovative and both failed spectacularly in the market place. The business case was there and for a $200 million investment they sold 487 of them making it one of the most successful programs in the company’s history. Airlines don’t care about innovation. They care about cost per seat mile, period.
@@adampoulsen5305 you have to remember that bombardier is a relatively small company. The weren’t building 60 aircraft a month or getting huge military contracts. They got some repayable loans from various levels of government but money was always short, debt was always high and in the end they were driven out of the commercial aircraft business because Boeing tried to destroy them with tariffs. But the crj900 made business sense and they made money with it, especially since it had a common crew rating with the 700. But like all stretches it compromised performance. It was low on thrust and was geometry limited for tailstrike which limited performance. I doubt it makes for a very good flying model either! We all thought it looked ridiculous and that they had stretched it too far. Then they did the crj1000! 🙄
I would love to see soem tutorials on how you design your planes! They look great, and I've been trying for a while to get these designs right, and in some ways it is really hard.
Amazing work! I've learned a lot from your videos, starting to finish my first prints, doing small mods, but what you do is just on another level! Keep it up!
Great build Troy! I enjoy flying & building model aircraft also! I started balsa gliders,& then Control line,, & Cox 049 power, I had to learn quick, as I crashed more than I flew 🤣👍
Hi Troy! Would you be able to make a video for how you did the CAD for the wing? I've tried several methods but haven't found one that doesn't feel like a ton of extra effort beyond what it should be. I'm curious as to what your design process looks like for internal structures - from the brief clip in the video it looks to be pretty simple and effective.
@@TroyMcMillan In the photo Id say the wing looks a bit small. It was common practice to make Tailplanes and wings larger than exact scale because at model sizes that's what's needed to make it fly at a more scale speed. It's also easier to fly them....Something to think about on your next one perhaps. A 30% increase in wing area would make a huge difference but it will still look scale....🤔😳😀😀🇬🇧
Troy. I LOVE this plane!! I fly this all the time in MSFS. I bought it as soon as it was available to purchase. Seeing this one you created is blowing my mind. Sadly, I have a couple others that I bought and have never finished (3D printing can make you want to break things as I am sure you know...lol) So I walked away for a bit. But seeing this has given me a purpose. I WILL complete the others and fly them. Once I fly them I am buying this one from you. This is so beautiful! And the thought you put into it while creating it for various options is second to NONE!!!! I hope you will open your own plane store at some point (honestly, since I took a 10-month break from printing anything I have not looked at all your new vids and this was the first I saw....and again WOW!!!!!!!!!!) if you have not already. I have looked at this one and read your info about it. Why can't all plane creators put the time and effort into making their plane information so very detailed with build vids so that ANYONE can read and understand and then watch and follow your build. SO VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY (did I say very) helpful!!!! I have a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and I have to say, the models I have bought or gotten free so far are not the easiest as the print as info is totally missing (how to print various parts with correct STARTING settings for CURA) or only a few settings are mentioned. I could build these all day long as I have been building models for over 50 years. It's the 3D printing part that is honking me off! LOL Thanks again and I can't wait to get this and then fly it!!! Greg
Great design and engineering 👍🏻. I love to see that more and more people do such awesome things with the right tools like fusion and 3D printer. Also shoutout to the clean and very smart details in the design.
You are very inspirational! Thank you for your video and the way you edit them to encapsulate a bit of the build with the flying final product. I'm inspired to print another flying model!

Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Great work, Troy. I didn't think a 3D printed model of that size and weight was even possible. You are really pushing this niche of R/C forward.
The first one I built to scale was such a prototype, I wasn’t sure if it would fly! It did, and it’s been a lot of fun doing it again and again. Thank you man!

To make it a CRJ700 you need to remove forward and aft plugs and remove the ventral strakes
