If you wrap glued in servos with a layer of black electrical tape, it makes them easier to salvage. All you have to do is cut the tape and peal the tape, then the servo can be reused.
Yeah, that is a great hack to point out. I do use painters tape on the bottom of the servos for that very reason, I like it to be very tidy and minimal for the video haha.
This looks amazing and so fun to fly! Looks like it just wants to fly too. Very good for new to novices flyers. When the captain rolled it, I was like, ok, I'm building this! I too have been missing your videos, but you did respond to my email fast. You make these videos and builds look TO EASY! I don't think most realize what it takes to make and edit a video like this. Capturing the printing, the build, and then flying, with voice over, OMG, all I can say is thank you! Then I just looked and you have sourced out and linked all the parts too!!!! Your family is so lucky to have a man of your caliber helping take care of them. Sorry for the long post..... Thank you sir!
We've been curious about your whereabouts, but it's understandable given your busy time expanding your team. Congratulations on the new addition to your family and the impressive new aircraft!
This combines everything I love; warbirds, RC, and 3d printing. And the parachute mechanism is a nice touch. I love seeing every new project you put out. I can't wait for you to do a classic bomber next!
Troy Great job on this one, both the video and the plane. The video shows so much more personality than some other previous videos. Keep up the good work! Congrats on the addition!
Thank you for this comment it definitely does show more personality. I figured there was enough channels out there that show hands building random things so I figured I would show a human building something. Thank you for the congrats! Cheers
Love your background music !!!! And loved this build so much infact that I subscribed !!! Well done and Thank you for being out there doing it . I'm very happy to have found your channel. GOD bless you and your loved one's 👍
Want to say thank you for your videos. I started this hobby 3 years ago. Your the one that inspired me to give 3D models a try. I went though the comments and thought I would let you know. Keep up the great work.
Wowowow! You've outdone yourself this time Troy :-D Just picked up a bambu x1c myself so I might have to print this one out! Huge congrats on the new addition to your family as well! ^_^
Troy, you are so inspiring. After watching a some of your videos a while back, I spent the whole last year printing a building planes. Such an incredibly fun hobby. This C-17 is incredible. Great work!
Wow, that thing just floats!! Looks like a really easy flier. Even though I've really been wanting to, I've been intimidated to fly any airliner-style planes for fear that they would fly to fast for me (I get nervous flying RC jets), but this thing looks so friendly to fly. Super cool.
Ya I agree I was a bit nervous the first time I flew a swept wing RC jet also. If you are looking at making the jump this is definitely a good one it is so light and the wing on the C-17 is so large in comparison to the rest of the plane there is a lot of wing area making it a great slow flyer you can fly this plane around on one battery at 50 percent throttle or less just fine.
The stuff you build is crazy! Glad to see that more people are getting into 3d printed planes, thanks to people like you. Personally, I love this 3d printed beauty the most and then the 3d printed A350 and A330 i saw on cults3d. Great job Troy, keep building more awesome planes!!
Looks fanntastic...next on my list, love your step by step videos and yay youve gone to bambu labs..so much more straightforward .congrats on the addition...
It's amazing how far 3d printed planes have come, this is a very similar size to my foam twin 50mm Seamaster, and seeing a 3d printed plane match the weight of foam is very impressive to me. Awesome work! I'm feeling inspired to design my own.
I've been waiting for you for a long time. I often looked at the channel to see if there was a new video. I'm glad that everything is fine. I have notifications turned off, but today I accidentally went to the channel and was delighted by the new video.
Thank you for being so interested in my channel that is very nice feedback to here. I would really like to start posting much more consistent. So hopefully you will start seeing more videos. Cheers
@@TroyMcMillan I have purchased all your designs and will be purchasing this as well. I like to see how other designers go about their designs of 3D printed airplanes. I have not built any as of yet, but I like looking at the designs.
Awesome design and build work young man. The last plane of Douglas, originally the YF-15 competing with Boeing's YC-14. I inspected the 1st two wire harness in development on the C-17 early in 1989, LOX.
Thank you, I love this plane I have only been able to enjoy looking at the C-17 from a distance it is such an amazing looking airplane. The paratroopers are my favorite part also.
Please a video how you design and draw a small plane maybe ? Preferably : Freecad for drawing and OpenFoam for simulation 🙂 I know I want to much :-) Love your videos. So much to watch. You inspire my sons alot :-)
I like when you said "3D printing is not my hobby" ... I feel exactly the same way ... they are tools, I want them to work. I use Prusa and Formlabs printers. Every time someone says I "overpaid" I remind them that I NEVER have failed prints ... and my time is not free.
I have 2 C-17 foam models that used 4-40 MM EDF units. I am currently replacing the fans/engines because the ones it came with are junk. I had one fan detonate on takeoff and 3 engines weren't enough to keep the plane flying. Since my C-17s are about the same size as yours I might try twin 50 MM edf units in it with empty outboard nacelles. I noticed that on your models, the landing gear sponsons are the same length (which makes sense aerodynamically) yet on my aircraft, the right sponson is longer than the left one. The reason the right sponson is longer is because the designers realized at the last minute that they hadn't placed the APU in the aircraft yet so the lengthened the right sponson while leaving the left one at the original design length. My C-17s are plug & play and a bit on the heavy side. Your aircraft look and fly amazing! Great job!
Ya maybe try duel 50mm in your and try to shed some weight off. Nice catch on the sponson. Yes I decided to adjust this from scale so that they would work more as skies to takeoff and land on. It does fly great the main reason is just due to how light the plane is. Good luck with your C-17s. Cheers
@@TroyMcMillan Since I have two of the aircraft, I might make one a twin engine with 64MM fans and the other with 4 50MM fans. You can tell by the video that your aircraft is very light and responsive. My C-17s are much heavier and take lots of runway to get in the air with the original engines. My aircraft also have 18 wheels on the landing gear which add weight and drag for sure. Making your aircraft with equal length sponsons for landing instead of adding the extra weight of landing gear is just brilliant. It also looks cool flying with the "gear up" whereas mine always have the gear down as if it is preparing to land.
I do CAD design work for my model railroad. That plane HAD to have been a massive design effort. Congratulations! It's awesome. Edit: tried the "all parts" link and got the "something went wrong" response.
Yes it was a massive deign effort for sure. Thank you. I will get the all parts link working thank you for letting me know. Required parts. 1 roll of LW-PLA Medium CA Glue 2 50mm EDFs 2 40amp ESC 5 9g servos Servo wire extensions 1 Battery
very nice design and build. Great that you give the bambu labs settings. I have never been able to get a good light weight PLA print. The layers seem to just separate at the slightest knock. Maybe I just need to try a different brand.
I can only get eSun epla-lw locally. There is a 3-part Reddit article discussing settings. My issues came right when I limited the max volumetric speed to 5 mm2/s. Strangely, I get much better results with the white, but the black is a lot weaker. I lightly sand it and then coat with epoxy resin.
@@290Alenka No I like the Active Foaming material from 3d lab or colorfabb. It saves around 45% from standard PLA. The Pre-foamed material only saves around 20% from standard PLA
it would be cool to see a video on your 3d modeling process. im trying to make my own but dont know where to put parts or how to make sure everything stays secure.
First this plane looked and flew amazingly! You are miles ahead of the companies out there that have 3d printed planes. Second, I have a request. No company has made a P-40 that flies well. I was hoping in one of your future projects, you can make one please and thank you!
Wow thank you for the nice comment. That is why I started doing my own designs I just had some cool planes I wanted to build and some ideas for some better features to try out. The P-40 would be a cool airplane to build. What size wing would you like to see for that build.
@@TroyMcMillan That is up you. If smaller is easier, than smaller. If larger is easier, than larger lol. I will print whatever you make and fly it till it dies.
Troy, how many rolls of filament do you need to print this? What do you think about using ASA? I bought the files yesterday, can't wait to get started!
Amazing model 👍 Do you think there is huge difference between X1C and P1S ? Next model suggestion : an iconic fighter like F14 or something older like F9F or F4 😉
Ya definitely I would love to build an F14 with retractable wing system. As far as print quality there is no difference between the X1 and the P1 the X1 just had more belles and whistles but the print quality will be the same.
Absolutely stunning! I know we’re all about managing weight here… but any chance you’d release a mod for this build to include retractable landing gear?
Can you make son adapter like you did the dummy outboard blades, but for a propeller no Edf to made the aircraft more efficient for long flight, specially FPV with Inav installed. Will be a great option for FPV pilots.
This is actually a good idea and I was thinking of turning this into and FPV plane. SO just to clarify you are saying to make a motor mount that would hold a brushless motor and a propeller rather than using an EDF to fly it. The prop blade would probably be something like an 8in prop so it would stick out and be larger than the cowling.
Good to see you back Troy it's been a minute. Have you upgraded to Capt. yet? What are you flying now? Does Capt. Paul fly for UA looks familiar. Great build Troy this is in my wheelhouse. I was a Loadmaster for 20 yrs on the C-17 & 141. I'm definitely going to build this to add to my collection. Hope you do a C-5 someday.
Thanks man, I haven't upgraded yet my schedule is way too good in the right seat. I am flying the 320. Paul doesn't fly for UA. Ya a C-5 would be an awesome project.
This was a great video to watch, I enjoyed watching it. Can you make a video showing your computer monitor and setup? How long did it take you to learn fusion 360?
Yes I get asked a lot about the CAD drawing stuff. I will release a video on it eventually. It does take some time to learn CAD. My best advice would to not start with airplanes to learn CAD, start with something simple to draw to learn the software first.
@@TroyMcMillan yes I agree with you about the learning cad thing. I wanna teach my son about cad and model airplane building. Great, great video loved . Thank you for what you do. We need more people like you. God bless you brother. Keep the vids coming.
Love this build and plane so much! I think i will go ahead and try this as my first 3d printed plane. For the EDFs, do you think it matters if the motors spin in the same direction or should they be opposite of each other? I have a C160 and the two props are counter-rotating from each other so im curious if it would help on this plane with the EDFs
Yess definitely a great first plane to 3D print. Designed in vase mode so super easy to print. The EDF don't need to spin counter clockwise and they cant because the blades would have to be reversed witch is not a thing for propellers you can buy CW and CCW props and make one of the motor spin the other direction. But with EDFs you don't have the same P-factor turning tendency as props have. Have fun with the build!
@TroyMcMillan Thanks for the reply! I should have clarified that I didn't mean to reverse the direction of the motor, rather use a CW and CCW EDF, but good to know it does matter! Would you know what kind of flight time do you get out of the plane on 3s?
@@22lambo Ya true you could use a CCW EDF but it does not have much effect on EDF setup. So I would say if you want to and it is easy to get then yes but if not you definitely done need them to be counter rotating. As far as flight time on my 3s 2200mah I flew it for 4min you could put duel packs side by side and if you flew it on 50% or less power you could get at least 8min if not more.
Troy: I am a hobbyist like you with the passion to build. Can you make a couple videos of how to design and use Fusion 360 to make a wing, fuselage ect
I use 3D LabPrint PolyLight LW-PLA (Light Gray) for this build. I have not tested this with 4 EDF's it would be so over powered the power to weight ratio with two EDFs is already twice the power needed so with 4 EDFs it would basically be a rocket at that point you could do vertical takeoffs. :) If you try it sent me a video I would love to see it.
this is without a doubt the coolest 3d printed rc plane ever built!
Thank You!!
HOW TF DID YOU MAKE THIS MASTERPIEDE

Good to see you back Troy it's been a minute. Have you upgraded to Capt. yet? What are you flying now? Does Capt. Paul fly for UA looks familiar. Great build Troy this is in my wheelhouse. I was a Loadmaster for 20 yrs on the C-17 & 141. I'm definitely going to build this to add to my collection. Hope you do a C-5 someday.
Thanks man, I haven't upgraded yet my schedule is way too good in the right seat. I am flying the 320. Paul doesn't fly for UA. Ya a C-5 would be an awesome project.
This was a great video to watch, I enjoyed watching it. Can you make a video showing your computer monitor and setup? How long did it take you to learn fusion 360?
Yes I get asked a lot about the CAD drawing stuff. I will release a video on it eventually. It does take some time to learn CAD. My best advice would to not start with airplanes to learn CAD, start with something simple to draw to learn the software first.
@@TroyMcMillan yes I agree with you about the learning cad thing. I wanna teach my son about cad and model airplane building. Great, great video loved . Thank you for what you do. We need more people like you. God bless you brother. Keep the vids coming.
Beautiful. Where can the stl. Be obtained and how many hours of. Print?
around 60 hours of print, you can purchase it at my website here's the link: www.troymcmillanrc.com/c17
Hey can you do a full lw pla settings on your Bambu studio, and how do you get good bed adhesion? Cheers
Very nice!
Thank you
Love this build and plane so much! I think i will go ahead and try this as my first 3d printed plane.
For the EDFs, do you think it matters if the motors spin in the same direction or should they be opposite of each other? I have a C160 and the two props are counter-rotating from each other so im curious if it would help on this plane with the EDFs
Yess definitely a great first plane to 3D print. Designed in vase mode so super easy to print.
The EDF don't need to spin counter clockwise and they cant because the blades would have to be reversed witch is not a thing for propellers you can buy CW and CCW props and make one of the motor spin the other direction. But with EDFs you don't have the same P-factor turning tendency as props have.
Have fun with the build!
@TroyMcMillan Thanks for the reply!
I should have clarified that I didn't mean to reverse the direction of the motor, rather use a CW and CCW EDF, but good to know it does matter! Would you know what kind of flight time do you get out of the plane on 3s?
@@22lambo Ya true you could use a CCW EDF but it does not have much effect on EDF setup. So I would say if you want to and it is easy to get then yes but if not you definitely done need them to be counter rotating.
As far as flight time on my 3s 2200mah I flew it for 4min you could put duel packs side by side and if you flew it on 50% or less power you could get at least 8min if not more.
Troy: I am a hobbyist like you with the passion to build. Can you make a couple videos of how to design and use Fusion 360 to make a wing, fuselage ect
I also want to know fusion360 it a little difficult for me
I need this in my life
Yesss you do download the files and build it. It is such a fun project.
This is so bad ass! What brand of LW PLA are you using? Did you test one with 4 EDF's?
I use 3D LabPrint PolyLight LW-PLA (Light Gray) for this build.
I have not tested this with 4 EDF's it would be so over powered the power to weight ratio with two EDFs is already twice the power needed so with 4 EDFs it would basically be a rocket at that point you could do vertical takeoffs. :)
If you try it sent me a video I would love to see it.
