The quality of this DC-6 design is spectacular. Flies beautifully, and is rock solid in the air. The landing looked a bit fast. Don't think I see landing flaps? Realize this probably a decision to reduce design/build complexity. It's great to see you back flying again after a few months break.
Thank you so much! 😊 It actually does have flaps! It’s been quite windy here every time I’ve taken it out, so I haven’t gotten a chance to truly use them yet.
3:40 you did a fantastic job on that no-flap landing. that was a perfect rate of descent, perfect touchdown angle. and this aircraft and the build info... amazing. you should be very proud of recreating this aircraft.
The moment I started looking into lightweight PLA for experimentation, your channel came up. Now out of nowhere I've seen all the eclipson builds and I'm planning on building the Pitts s12. A google search just started a new hobby for me :D
Fantastic model, you have done a really nice job desiging that ! Glad to see a new video from you again, hope to see more videos and aircraft from you soon.
@@TroyMcMillan so far I've built an Eclipson Model A for my son's second aircraft, and a 3D LabPrint Zero, so your build guides have been very welcome. 🙂 Using a Artillery Sidewinder X2 with eSun LW PLA and have it fairly well dialled in for single wall.
Can you please do a Lockheed Constellation. I love your work, but a Super Constellation would be awesome and I would definitely 100% build it! Anyway great work!
Great job Troy , nicely flown very scale . Looks great close up too. I have a Question about the spar in the wing , how strong are the joints where it has been glued? . Have you weight loaded the wing to test over the whole span ? . Only asking as I have no clue how good CA bonds . Fantastic video as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much man. From my experience, CA bonds stronger than the actual layer adhesion. I’ve done weight tests on this assembled wing though, and it is definitely strong enough for this size airframe!
Nice build! I wish I could use my 3D printer for rc airplanes. Sadly I live in Texas and half of the year here I'd have to just store them in my air conditioned house or they would just turn into a puddle of melted filament with parts sticking out of it....
I'm not sure what the highs are there, but it shouldn't be a problem! I live in Vegas, and it is ridiculously hot here. 100F+ for half the year. I have stored planes in my garage for years now without any kind of AC. Not even the slightest bit of warping. You should give it a try :)
@@TroyMcMillan I have unforgettably lol an unwittingly. This first cummer I moved into my house left PLA parts to a lamp I was making in the garage over that first summer. There was not any warping but the parts became very brittle almost like glass. I though that maybe it was just the PLA brand so last summer I intentionally left other prints and one of the wifi temp/humidity monitors I use in my spool storage boxes. Not sure if it's due to it getting up to 130 then down to 50 on the same day or if it's due to it getting humid then dry but all the part lose any elasticity and get brittle kind of like glass...
Hi Troy, thank you for your efforts and your postings, it is really encouraging me to extract my digit and get back into model flying. As a traditional modeller who has learned to read 0lans and build from scratch, I too see the 3D printing as being an extremely good fit with modelling and your work confirms that. So, being in the market for a r3asonably good 3D printer for this work I would appreciate yout thoughts on whether one of the Ender 5 printers would work for me? There is either the Ender 5 S1 which looks good and with a decent print size, 220x280x220 mm, or the Ender 5 Plus with the 350x350x400 mm capacity. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
These planes do great flying in the AM when the sun isn't so harsh, and/or if it is really hot out, I also just set it in the shade when I'm not flying. I live in Vegas and the summer heat is brutal, and I very rarely see warping if I do this :)
It’s 65USD and unfortunately it is priced fairly according to the market, the quality of the model and the time it takes for me to design it. I do plan on designing some smaller, less expensive models down the line for those just getting started in the hobby.
@@TroyMcMillan it is a great looking model and i understand all the work you put in not only designing but also testing, the exchange rate is the killer. I enjoy all your videos, cheers Mick

Good to know has flaps. Thanks. :)
That thing is gorgeous! 😍
Thank you!!
Absolutely beautiful ❤
I appreciate it man, thank you!!

Amazing works!
Engineering genius!
Love ur videos so much and the plane was beautiful
Thank you so much!! :)

That’s so awesome to hear man. It’s such a fun hobby to get into, I hope you have a blast!
Awesome content Troy!
Awesome build sir
Love your builds
Thank you so much :)
Just love your projects. So inspired to dig in and start doing this. Thank you for being so thorough in your videos and projects. First class.
Thumbs up! This is a masterpiece!!!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!
Awesome model!!
Fantastic model, you have done a really nice job desiging that !
Glad to see a new video from you again, hope to see more videos and aircraft from you soon.
Thanks so much!! I have a new project i've been designing for the last few months, hope to get its build video up in the next couple months.
@@TroyMcMillan can't wait 👍
Such a beautiful aircraft!!!
These are all fantastic. Would be interesting to see a plane with a built-in camera
watching the takeoff at 1/2 or 1/4 speed looks really good
It looks so real in the air and slowed down a little. 😆 love it haha.
@@TroyMcMillan Models at slower speeds always look realistic.
Excelente vuelo perfecto, saludos desde Colombia, buen video ✈✈✈✈✈
Muchas gracias!!
Awesome!
Can you make a 737 max
It's definitely on my list of aircraft!
@@TroyMcMillan I will definitely buy one .Already bought the A321
Oh man that's awesome!!! I would love to see a design tutorial.
Fantastic plane. I can't wait for your next project and I'm sure it's going to be awesome.
Thank you!!
Huge fan, great design and really neat details. If you do a Constellation it will jump to the top of my build list!
The Constellation is definitely SO high up on my list!! It was between either designing the constellation or the DC-6, but I went with the DC.
@@TroyMcMillan if you where to design a constellation, would it have the short early nose or the longer one? And btw very nice work on the DC-6!
Fantastic design and build. Would love to see a 3d printed DC3/C-47.
The DC3 has to be my all time favorite airliner, I would love to design that one someday!
@@TroyMcMillan If you do please make 2 variants DC3 and C-47
I also would love a DC3.. TROY can make it happen 👌😀
Looking really good Troy and flies super smooth. Your vids inspired me to start 3d printing flying models. Always enjoy watching your content.
Thank you!! That's awesome to hear, which model are you looking at getting started with?

Great video Troy. Kudos to the videographer. Now on to the Constellation :)
Thank you!! :) It was between the Constellation or the DC-6, but i ended up going with the DC haha. The Constellation is high up on the list though!!
I know we've chatted.
Make more vids man you're awsome
Красавец. Такая мягкая посадка. Профи
Классная модель 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would you consider building a 3d printed Concorde with duel 70’s or something? Your builds are really nice quality.
That would be so awesome, I love that plane. I definitely plan on doing it!
That’s gonna be an awesome build. I’ll be buying that on day 1. Looking forward to it.
Wow! That's cool I'm almost done with the print I downloaded from you thanks...wondering hmuch extra weight it can carry
Something different like a Dash 8 Q400?
Awesome build! Great flying, as always!! Thanks for sharing mate. You are an inspiration. :)
Thank you so much, man!
Can you please do a Lockheed Constellation. I love your work, but a Super Constellation would be awesome and I would definitely 100% build it! Anyway great work!
Thank you!! It was between the Constellation or this DC-6, I ended up going with the DC but I absolutely plan on doing the Constellation eventually!!
Hi Troy. Love the DC -- any chance of you doing a Lockheed Constellation? The most beautiful airliner ever!!
Absolutely planning on doing the Constellation eventually, it is one of my all time favorites!
Beautiful build Troy.. What's in the works for your next project?
I have a plane I have been working on designing the last couple months, hope to have the video up soon!

I am looking to get my first 3d printer any recommendations?
The Creality Ender 3 S-1 pro is an amazing printer, has all you could want/need in a printer.
Fantastic! Have you tried a Bambu Labs printer yet?
No I haven't! Are you using that one? Is there a specific model I should take a look at?
A large one it would be soo cool
Wait, you designed this yourself?? Which cad software?
Yeah, I did! 😃 I use Fusion360

hey, the amazon all parts link does not work
GREAT JOB,I NEED A LOCKHEED P-3C ORION,PLEASE
I'm waiting for a 737
…😜👌
The 737 is definitely a plane on my list!
@@TroyMcMillan When you get out, I'll put all the projects in the works on hold and let 737 go...😜👌...💪
What is the website you used to 3d print this and are we able to download the 3d printed parts to build it ourselves
Me and my friend are planning to build an rc airplane first of its kind
could you please try the F22 with thrust vectoring ? thank you.
What printer are you using?
How do you keep the plastic from sagging in the sun?

@@TroyMcMillan I left mine in the shade too, so I thought. Apparently the sun moves in the sky as the day progresses... =)
@@Slaintemaith Need to a small solar cell and a buzzer. ;)
@@AerialWaviator I like it!
Can I print it in PETG?
👍
What brand of PLA ?
I used eSun PLA+ for this build
Can you please make a Douglas dc3
Pleas constellation ❤️❤️❤️
Can you please mane an Boieng 737?
Can you make a 747 pwease
Nice plane but $100 AUD is just too much ...
