This is awesome! I just paid for the files, in my opinion it’s worth every dollar. I can’t wait for my servos and ESC to arrive to build this up, thank you so much for designing this!
I'm curious how it holds up over time. I just know how brittle PLA gets once it's been sitting out. I can barely touch the stuff once it dries out without it crumbling into tiny pieces.
Pla doesnt become brittle from drying out it becomes brittle when it absorbs moisture or is exposed to long periods of UV. ABS would withstand the elements a tad better but still absorbs moisture which would eventually cause some warping.
try light-weight inflated 3d-print, less rigid, squish fold wing body, air pressure will keep it in form, but its more rigid than totally flexible plastic inflatable, still has strong form
Hi mate, I bought the stls about a week ago and I've managed to print wing 1 L and R but I'm having major outer layer warping on wing 2 and 3, any ideas to what would help?
Nice! I really like it! Is it within FPVWRA Spec (except for the motor, prop and FC)? SPEC WING™ CLASS Wingspan: 36" +/- 1/2" Does not include winglets Airfoil: NACA 0014 Wing sweep: 12" +/- 1/2" Chord: central- 9", tip- 6" +/- 1/2" (includes elevons!) Root Chord thickness: 1.25" +/-1/4" Tip Chord thickness: 0.85" +/-1/4" Elevons: balsa or foam Material: EPP, EPS, EPO, fan fold foam, or foam board (Foam board should be formed to airfoil requirements) Motor: Cobra CP-2210 2200kv Motor T-Motor AT2310 2200kv Motor Turnigy D2826-6 2200kv Motor Battery:3s 2200 (Max Charge 4.2V per Cell) VTX: 200 mW 5.8GHz w/ raceband Vertical stabilizers: Winglets ONLY (new for 2018 season) Winglets: ABS, coroplast, or foam (3D Printed materials such as PLA or PETG are also acceptable) Servos: Builder's choice ESC: Builder's choice (BLHeli is recommended) Prop: Cobra Motor- APC 6X4, T-Motor APC 6x4, Turnigy Motor- APC 6X5.5E Spars: Builder's choice not less than 1/2" behind leading edge Flight Controller: FC/gyros are not permitted
@Skyglide look at materials. I've looked into it in the past, fpvwra worded their requirements to leave it sounding as though the only approved materials are balsa and foam (balsa only seems to be permitted on control surfaces)
Very awesome!! Quick question before purchasing .. is the SCAD file included? Would like to add vertical lift and dual 6s capacity for very long range.
Hi, unfortunately only STLs included. And this platform is not gold for dual 6s. I’m finishing new product GPlank with plenty of space for the long range. Check my shorts video
@@Skyglide just checked out the short of the GPlank and I'm absolutely interested! Do you have a time frame for release? Also I'd willing to pay extra for the SCAD along with the stl. Would really like to incorporate vertical lift, motor in each wing to get it off the ground without having to hand/sling launch. Thanks!
buy mine!! I'm having a hard time trying to print the files and my wings are too weak... I'm printing with an ender 3 pro, surely it's something with the cura settings. I hope to solve it and be able to finish it soon! please upload more videos of this wing seen from the osd and if you could pass me the cura configuration if you use an ender I would really appreciate it... thank you very much for everything and sorry for my english I'm using a translator haha
Nice, I find 3d printed airplanes are really great for... RU-vid videos. They're worse in every way compared to a foam plane, but on the upside you only have to fly them once, er, I should say you only get to fly them once...
I've used petg just because of a nice blue color. There's no difference. General guidance - use petg for motormounts. Airframe - eSun PLA+. It is much better than PETG. But both work okay
Hi, nice models. We would be interested into this wing but are wondering how fast it can be. it seems to be pretty fast, therefore you need a lot of space to fly it, am I right ? Because we don't have such big fields around here. What is the price of your files and when to you expect to make this one available ?
Hello Bernard, thank you very much! The speed range is from 35 to 130 km/h on the setup as per the video. I am still thinking about the price of STLs, I am not going to earn here, just cover some research and design costs and filament. Therefore I am planning to make it quite low. I think you can still fly line of sight on a football field.
Please don't call the filament "spars." They act more like wire rigging (only good for tension, no compression or torsional rigidity) inside your mostly monocoque wing which is the main load bearing structure of your plane. It's a great design but you're using wrong terminology.
