Printed both tailed versions of this model and can say I like them very much and was pleasantly surprised at how well it flew considering the little 50mm EDF. I wish the designer made it to take a 64mm EDF as it could probably be done without enlarging the fuselage itself. I fly off tarmac so the wheels worked great and be ready because she really wants to float and will slow down more than you think without stalling. The v-tail looks cooler but I think the straight tail might fly just a bit better IMO (maybe just a tiny bit more solid feel but that could just be my own imaginings lol).
Congrats on the first ever printed plane landing without it breaking apart. 😂🍺 I got a Sidewinder printer for doing this, and got discouraged by the massive print times and videos of repeated failures. It's still great for printing camera mounts! lol
I crashed mine at the maiden in flight. I pulled too hard and one wing flipped. The main spar is just pla - I will put some carbon in next print. And yes - it takes some time to print, but you don't need to watch it all time. I print a lot over night and receive a fresh plane-part next morning.
Flew great, I guess you could make your own plane design and print to fly. 👍🏻
Some skilled folks do that. Its a growing part of the hobby.
Yeah that is the future of the RC hobby. Thanks for the 3D plane link Dom.
No problem 👍

The T tail will fly better. V tails can't knife edge. Essential to good aerobatics 😉
Nice speed and size for a 50mm edf.👍
Flying is really cool
Well done.

Excellent flight and landing... nicely done. Which EDF did you use?

Have had decent luck with Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro printer. Great bang for the buck IMO.
Printed this on my P1S.
4S LiPo?
How slow will it go?
Very slow from what I saw
Would it work as a trainer lol. Haven't flown fixed wing rc in 20 years or so. Been fly fpv drones for the past 3 years.
@@1969jfp EDF jets are far from ideal for getting back into fixed wing flying. Best to use something slower like a high wing model. e.g. FMS PA-18
dont get the k1 shit
Scale it up to 121% an a 64mm edf fits an flys great.
I'm going to game to try this out!
Nice gonna try that still use 9g servos or something different?
12g in the wings , 9g works also just have to sim abit.
