I might too, just for good measure 🤣. (only if one of these fails)

Got the speedjet cut out! Need to go to walmart to get some spars before I can start building though.

What kind of spars do you get at walmart?

 

[Mr Man]

Arrows! They’re normally fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Yeah, I’m almost done with it (didn’t a ton of work on it till 1:30 last night). I did have to redesign the nose a bit though, to make the battery fit, though it shouldn’t affect the aerodynamics at all. I also made the vertical stabs a bit bigger. (just in case). I’ll try to get some pics of the real plane soon

Nice! How’d you like dark mode in Onshape?

About the same. It's just easier on my eyes

 

[Mr Man]

All done! Just needs to be covered in tape, and painted! (and flown of course 😆)

*ignore the mess

I also decided to mount an edf onto my vortex (just cause i thought it’d be cool)

I got a 30 pack from Amazon. Bonus is that a large bamboo skewer fits into them perfectly so I can extend them too, I used three for my 80" C-130 (along with further strengthening) 😊

Just be careful if you hot glue the skewer in. I squirted glue down the shaft before inserting the skewer and barely got it into place without burning myself 😂

Holy thrust line batman - that thing might be a bit of a handful to launch
