Following the directions to post here to start.
My 9yo son has gotten into RC building and flying with a passion in the last year. It's rekindled an interest of mine from childhood, and it's been really fun to watch him learn to build and fly his own planes. He's built a few of the flitetest builds and a few of his own, mostly umx scale or smaller, often with scavenged parts from other projects.
A friend just lent us a 3d printer recently (QIDI X-Max 3D) which we've been playing with, and my son is super interested in printing plane parts or even a whole plane, if anyone has good recommendations for places to start? I saw this post, which might be a fun one https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/3d-lab-print-cub-my-first-3d-printed-plane.74882/ - he also wants to try something with a 30mm edf - i saw the f-35 post, which looked pretty great, other (slower?) ideas welcome.
Also, excited to try to make it to Flitefest '25 this year...
