I was going to try and fly my jet Wednesday. I've been using a little 3D printed test part to see if it gets too hot for PLA in my car since May and it had had zero issues with warping up until this week, so I felt pretty good about leaving the plane in my car while I was at work. But unfortunately, when I got out and looked in my trunk, everything had picked that day to get too hot and deform. The picture doesn't look too bad till you look at the trailing edge to see how much it curves now. You can also see how the hatch no longer fits properly. I did my best to bend it back into shape while it was still somewhat flexible, but the wings were too warped, and it was unflyable.
The good news is it prints so quickly that I had time to fully rebuild it again. Unfortunately, this means I'm going to get one chance to try and fly it in time, and that chance will need to be tomorrow. To make sure it launches well, I'm also putting together a bungee launcher, but at this point I'm about 50/50 on if I'll get it flying in time. If not, I'll still try and put it in the air sometime next week and it just won't count for the competition sadly.
