The Eclipson motorized version of the Schempp-Hirth Gö-1 Wolf turned out as a very tribute the original 1930's design. Wolfram HIRTH, and Martin SCHEMPP would likely be in awe to see this 3d-printed edition of a a wooden glider they sold for approximately £150 (1930's valuation). The company still exists today, producing high-tech composite Schempp-Hirth sailplanes. Fun Fact: On April 3, 1934 the first production Gö-1 Wolf's to leave the "Sportflugzeugbau Göppingen" (Sport Aircraft Göppingen) factory flew across the English Channel to participate in Alan Cobham’s Flying Circus (an airshow of the era). The pilot, a then 19 year old Joan Meakin, was first female pilot to ever fly across the channel. Doing so in a motor-less aircraft and doing aerobatics before landing made international news. A couple month later, on June 16, 1934 Joan Meakin's glider was towed to a height of 4,500 feet above Bristol airport broke the loop record made by Faur Hanna Heritsch’s of 15. Joan made 18 loops before landing. The loop in this video (11:12) is a fitting tribute to early aviation history.

Finished my D-936 last night. Printing, assembling, sanding, painting...total: 3 days. Weight:357g without electronics. Maiden coming in the spring, (April)
Thanks for the video and the files! I have started printing already using the Polylite prefoamed LW-PLA. It is printing so smoothly. No stringing at all, very light and very strong. Can’t wait to get it in the air 😊
@@SiN360-s8c I went with the recommended "printing parameters" settings for regular PLA for the Go1 Wolf. My temp setting was 205, bed temp 60, and speed 40.. The best printed parts ever for me!
With the upcoming FAA registration requirement for drones (and the power grabbing bureaucrats call model airplanes drones for their rule) to carry a device to tell who is flying them and a license requirement or fly in an approved location like a model club flying area, I decided to take the least expensive way out and start building planes that are 8.8 ounces or a quarter kilo or less which are exempt. My first is a 66% Go 1 Wolf and it came in at a ready to fly weight of 7 ounces or about 199 grams. I'm also working on a Eclipson Focke Wolf and it is ready to install the electronics.I used San Smart LWPLA I'd post a picture but don't see a way. Nearly all the big pieces print in vase mode which is nice. There is a vide on UA-cam that shows how to design for vase mode using Fusion 360 which is free for non commercial use.
I tried to fly mine. Excellent plane but it was super tail heavy (2 inches away from the spars). I was using an fsi6x and ft power pack b radial v.2. I threw it as recommended and it instantly nosed up and crashed into the grass. I tried adding nose weight to balance and it still pitched back. Used an A1 and recommended filament. I would recommend printing everything in front of wing in pla tough or abs… something heavy. I am going to use this next time when I reprint it. I really liked the design and compatibility with my existing electronics which have been sitting around doing nothing. I also took tips on electronics assembly from flitetest… learned a lot. I’m going to try another of your models now that I understand it better.
Finished printing mine, almost done with the assembly. I am thinking of using a ZOHD flight controller to make it more beginner friendly. It also has an auto launch feature, looking forward to trying it out.
hello, I printed out your free model go 1 Wolf for testing and I'm struggling with bad cooling of the engines and electronics in general, the cone blocks the entire nose and actually the plane doesn't have a solved cooling in general .. and it's about 15 degrees outside now in October but apart from that the plane flies amazingly, it's my first 3d printed model and I'm happy with it, the repairs are great after the engine overheated it went down with a corkscrew and I just have to print the nose again and put it on and I can keep flying it's great.
Ücretsiz baskı için teşekkür ederim. Diğer modelleriniz de çok güzel. İlk önce ücretsiz olanı deneyip sonra diğerlerine bakacağım. Tekrar teşekkür ederim.
i cant print it if i want to slice the wing or others i drag it in and i can see the infill but when i click on slice it dissaper and it get printet with no infill
HI just wondering how you attach the ailerons. I see you glue the hinges into the ailerons and then it jumps forward. Do you then glue the other end of the hinge into the wing? Just unsure how it works as a hinge. Thanks again
@@jean-christophea498 Thanks for this. Looking back over the designs I did notice there is a Label on the drawings saying TPU . Oversight on my part but at least its clarified. Thanks
I am sorry but we can not recommend any specific components if we don´t test it first. If you wanna be sure there will be no issues you should order the standard power pack that we recommend, The same pack is used in most of our planes. www.eclipson-airplanes.com/standardpowerpack
I tried flying this plane for my first ever flight yesterday. It lasted 10 seconds. I suspect it was tail heavy. Im struggelig finding information about the balancing point for this plane. Are those small dents underneath the wing, close to the fusalage, the balance point indicators? Thanks! Otherwise very cool looking plane.
Hello, Stupid question, I have a ender 3 pro with a flexible build bed, how can I remove the printed object? I left it cool down, but it's really hard to take it off. Can you please help me? Do I have to put some stick glue on the bed before printing? Im not using any glue at all. Thank you!!
This video shows in moments 0'36", 4'42", 5'10", 6'04" and 6'35" how small parts in the form of rectangular plates are used. What it is? Is there an option for part 7 (canopy) to mount an FPV camera?
Good idea e good video. Now, how about removable wings? I would like to transport it by the car, so i need space to store it at home BTW it files very well 👍
I print 6mm pla+ rods. And it works. As my ender 3s1 is too small to print in one part the 6mm tubes needed for the main wing, i cut the rods with interlocking.
Beautiful! Just finished printing mine. What are you doing with the graphics .. Print on black and glue? or something else? Thank you for answering me.
Thank you so much for this free model! This was a great first experience for me, although I crashed it within 3 seconds 🤣 A few comments though: I used the suggested Flite Test pack for this plane, but it looks like the prop is too large. The plane can only take off by releasing it/throwing it. And Landing would be a problem as well because the prop has to be in a horizontal position or otherwise it would crash. Also the screw of the Flite Test motor was not long enough to fit the prop including spinner 1+2. Did I miss something? Reprinting the broken (2) parts as we speak nevertheless
Hey I know this is really late but someone suggested a folding propeller in the Facebook group however I do not remember the size but for any belly landplane I would suggest one
I so happy to see traditional hinge setup for the ailerons, its much more easier to do , I wish the Eclipson 3D was the same. Thank you for this fabulous model! Btw..any chance to make a two piece wing mod? 🙏 I would gladly pay for the mods
Something is wrong, did you use only one wall (0,4mm) and no bottom/top layers for most parts? Double check our drawing: www.eclipson-airplanes.com/_files/ugd/f2f22d_1a1b020f1fe3423da10c77f4e005bb3a.pdf

It seems that you motor/prop combination is not adequate overheating the motor. I would recommend you to use what we recommend in our page.
Fuselage and the Wings completed printing. Can’t wait to assemble. And fly it.
Very elegant plane!
I can not figure out what the black squares are at 6:34
Does anyone know? It is not listed on the product page

Ohh bird of time look alike and these sliding turns.. Awesome.
i will try it without motor, with band start.
Trying to make this! Looks extremely promising!
Built it, need to install electronics
vorrei sapere come mai i pezzi mi vengono pieni e in pratica pesanti come devo impostare la stampante
i cant print it if i want to slice the wing or others i drag it in and i can see the infill but when i click on slice it dissaper and it get printet with no infill
can you guys update your cura settings on the website? I am having some trouble
I've just finished assembling but I have a little problem with the CG, do you know where the CG is?
Very nice, and she handles nice too...🤔😏🇬🇧
I'm using k1max. Can you tell me the output settings?
Slicer uses Orca and Creality
HI just wondering how you attach the ailerons. I see you glue the hinges into the ailerons and then it jumps forward. Do you then glue the other end of the hinge into the wing? Just unsure how it works as a hinge. Thanks again
Wondered the same - perhaps a flexible material?
You have to print hinges with flex material
@@jean-christophea498 Thanks for this. Looking back over the designs I did notice there is a Label on the drawings saying TPU . Oversight on my part but at least its clarified. Thanks

Do I need the 1:00 rods for PLA version?
It is recommended.
@@eclipsonairplanes ok but i dont find any 1.2 rod, can I do with 1 or 1.5 instead?
@@arquitos yes
At the end of the first minute you insert thin rods into the fuselage holes. What is the diameter of these rods? What is their material?
Both carbon fiber and steel work well. They are 1.2mm.

The metal scraper that comes with the printer is helpful for removing them!
Place it in freezer
Cual es la escala de este avión? Esta estupendo 🎉
Considering landing on the wheels, is there a need for a folding propeller in order to avoid propeller damages?
The folding prop will hit the canopy lock and window
Very beautiful！

Is there an option for part 7 (canopy) to mount an FPV camera?
These are the connector pieces. They are small 3D printed rectangles. The stl is included in the model!

Good idea e good video. Now, how about removable wings? I would like to transport it by the car, so i need space to store it at home BTW it files very well 👍
Thanks. We transported the plane in a small car without problems.
What's your battery size? 2/3/4s?
Are the Carbon fiber tubes needed if printed in normal pla? Is the one in the video LW or normal PLA?
Yes they are needed for both versions. In the video you can see the LW-PLA version.
I print 6mm pla+ rods. And it works. As my ender 3s1 is too small to print in one part the 6mm tubes needed for the main wing, i cut the rods with interlocking.
where is everyone getting the batteries for these models? seem to be sold out everywhere
What are you using for hinges. The printed hinge gcode are solid squares not hinged.
TPU material
@@eclipsonairplanes I thought so.
Dowloading, thanks a lot
If we just use the gcode no need to change any settings right.. I have neptune 3 pro printer
Yes! Just load it on your sd card and print.
Thanks for the video, printing mine as we speak.👍
Can I use a motor? x2212 980kv
Puedo usar tubos de madera en lugar de usar los de fibra de carbono ?
si
can i print all the plane with pla
Yes, but with LW-PLa is easier to fly.
Question are the hinges made from tpu ?
yes
Beautiful! Just finished printing mine. What are you doing with the graphics .. Print on black and glue? or something else? Thank you for answering me.
Print and glue.
Hi sir where us the stl file plz let me know
can i make the hinge with pla instad of tpu ? will it work
No, they have to be flexible.
WHAT CONTAINS SPRAY GLUE OR SOMETHING ELSE
The spray is to dry the glue

Can we use 2200mah 3s battery for this plane?
It is too heavy for this airplane.
La pieza fus1 no es simétrica en la corona y la pieza del soporte de motor no esta centrada
Así es, es correcto, esto es debido al ángulo lateral y vertical requerido para el motor.
How many kg/lbs of PLA to print this?
≈250g (LW-PLA) or ≈450 (PLA)
I so happy to see traditional hinge setup for the ailerons, its much more easier to do , I wish the Eclipson 3D was the same.
