On the forums a while back someone asked about combining foam board and 3D printing. I thought about it, and came to the conclusion that if you could replace the fuselage, you would eliminate half the work of building a traditional FT foamy. So, I started working on a 3D printed fuselage for the simple scout. I finished gluing it together tonight, and installing the electronics, which took all of 15 minutes, since the servos snap-in and there's no power pod or firewall to mess with. My son built the wing already, and it fits ok. It could be a little better fit, but it's just fine for my purposes. I have not come up with a good solution for the gear yet, so I'll be designing some 3D printed gear for it soon. They'll probably just glue/screw on.
Let me know what you think, and if this works, what you think the next design should be.
