OMG, I have been waiting for this video for months, I had everthing printed out and half built untill now. what a great design and build keep more coming please and thank you.
@@redbaronrchello! I have been trying to contact you through your website forum to get the files for this beast! Unfortunately it keeps giving me a 404 error. Any ideas?
I downloaded it ! I will start printing today. I've always wanted to build a peanut scale plane like this. Yours is really cute and the design looks neat, easy to print and assemble. Is there a flight video yet?! (Maybe consider adding a link to your model/website in the video description)
Awesome! Have you ever considered 3d printing an airplane mold and vacuum forming the actual model? Iv been planning out such a build in my mind. Maybe make a micro edf.
@redbaronrc6520 nice, that's mainly what I'v used my vacuum former for. I'd like to experiment with other materials to make complete airframes in the former. Which would make for some cool videos if you ever venture into such a project 👍
I used colorfabb lightweight pla. Hit me up on the contact form on my website. Paste your comment in the body of the email. I'll send you a one time free link.
Okay I'm printing it now! Using hyper PLA+ on an Ender 3 with a.2 nozzle , so far all the parts are extremely lightweight. I plan on using a 1105 4500kv motor with a 4 inch prop. Any thoughts on my setup?
Great video! I've printed mine for a few months but never got around to assembling it, this video is great help and a kick in the butt to get it done. Do you think 3s would work maybe with higher kV or different prop? I have lots of small 3s but almost no 4s.
I'm sure it would fly with 3S. I just wanted to pack as much punch as I could into this little model. Yeah, get it done! Send me pics! Thanks for watching.
Crashes are a given with RC planes. Forget about 3D printed wing skins. They are too heavy, provide little strength and are basically unrepairable. I now print just the wing frames and cover them with 1/16" balsa, at least 4X times stronger, or use covering film which is surprisingly strong. Print the wing frames lengthwise from the leading edge up. 3D prints are 2X stronger along the striations, and wings up to 30" per side can be printed in 2 pieces on a CR10. Make the leading edge about 3/4" for a forward spar, or a hollow D section when using film. I noticed in another video you added carbon fiber to a spar, calling back to old school building. It's a trend I'm seeing on UA-cam of people discovering 50 year-old balsa planes. 3D printing is great for crafting shapes in CAD (I have 4 3D printers) but it's hard to beat the original composite, wood, for strength and durability for RC planes, or foam planes for 5 minute field repairs that let you finish the day and keep flying.
@@redbaronrc I started 3D printing wing frames as an alternative to foam cores for a 60" plane, which cost $60 to $100 for literally $2 of foam. Most of the cost is setup time and shipping. I first made a hot wire setup. But you still have to put in spars and hard points and end up with a lot more stuff, different templates, etc., and a lot of dedicated space if you make a CNC hotwire cutter. The 3D printed/balsa versions weigh the same and are nearly as strong. I have designed a few other planes around the same process.
I honestly don't know how they will ever have the man power to enforce any of these regs, but the point of that video is that a plane of that size falls completely under the weight limit anyway.

Thank you for watching!
So cute little Extra! I want it so hard ;) is it an any chance you will design Pitts special not the wrap around film but with 3d printed shell? 😅
Already did. Just not released because I don't have instructions yet.
Looks awesome! Thanks for the video. I'll try to build one shortly
Hey Thanks for watching!
Neat little bird! I want one
Thanks for watching!
Awesome mode! Hope to be able to print it soon, Great channel, just found it today.
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved the video and the build.
Thank you!
Fantastic work! Can't wait to try it!
Thanks for watching!

You build great models! love them all!
Thank you very much!
great job, can't wait to build it
Hope you enjoy it!
Would love to try one of your models then I can make a true decison to purchase the set of pitts plans Great Job!
Awesome, thank you!

There is a short of it taking off on my channel page. I'll have to post more.

I've vacuum molded clear canopies over a 3 d printed mold. Works great. In fact will do a video soon on the vacuum former.

I've wondered about that myself. I think it would work. Could be super lightweight!
I love this build!!!! What filament did you use?? Also I would like the design!!!! Thanks!!!

Sorry for late reply on this. How did the prints turn out?
It's great just waiting for a new receiver now the plane with no electronics came in at 140grams
Just a Question, could I use Bambu Lab's pla aero filament on this instead of pla lightweight
@@Brody4M for sure. I haven't used it yet but essentially the same result.
@ Thank you! I will most likely use that filament!
@ let me know how it works out.
I bought this & are working on it rn 😃 is there a place where i can download your cura profile? presuming that you used cura 🙈
Im on a ender 3 v2 btw
Hey I have a video on this. Cura Settings for Lightweight PLA Thinwall Printing

@@redbaronrc oof. Thx man, i really like your design so far. Im gonna try this out later & thx for your reply ✌️

Yeah I was building those old school planes not 50 but definitely 40 years ago. I go back to my roots some times. Great old school techniques.

Do you really think the faa is going to track people down for remote-id issues

@@redbaronrc they never will .i get your idea and did buy the files .all LW right
