I printed Tom Stanton's wing a few years back.....crashed it on launch of the maiden flight:
I should have let my wife help me launch instead of film...but she had just "helped" my launch my X-15 by throwing it into the ground so I decided to risk self launching.
But...I didn't have anything break, just glue joints failed. This was printed in MakerGeeks Translucent PLA (absolute rubbish filament and they're now out of business so no risk of anyone else wasting money with them) and I used a foam safe CA to glue it because that was the only CA my LHS had in stock at the time.
One of these days I need to try flying it again. It's glued back together but I've been nervous about trying it again and haven't had much time to fly anything the past 2 years
