Basically, put the tail assembly together and glue it on the plane. Put the wire guide(s) (I used two) in front of that on the shaft but do NOT glue them yet. Then put the rear wing mount on, unglued. Put the servo tray on next, then the front wing mount. Then put the ESC mount and the motor mount. The ONLY thing glued to the shaft at this point should be the tail mount.I think the reason dimensions aren't published anywhere is that everyone's will be different depending on your arrow shaft length or materials you used to print with example: PLA or LW-PLA or PETG. What it seems that most people are doing is putting all the parts and electronics in place and move the wing until it balances, then space the other parts equally between them.
For example I used a 32" carbon fiber shaft. The front wing part on mine is about 8.5 inches from the front of the carbon fiber shaft. I then adjusted the rear wing part so that my wing fit, My tail mount is flush with the rear of the arrow shaft and my motor mount is flush with the front. All of the other parts are just spaced equally between either the front/rear wing mounts, or the front wing mount and motor mount.

Very close to having all the parts printed using an old spool of black PETG. Plan to use black foamboard for a sinister looking all dark build. Still need to source some arrows. Want to build a brighter night flying edition too.i've tried to hold off on adding "one more build" to my plate, but I woke up with a nasty migraine and decided to jump in with both feet on printing all the parts. LOL.... Hope to get all my FT kits and planes in working order before FF23. Going to ask for time off at work today when I get in.
Cheers!

Tough to find 7mm dia arrows around here... Wally World has some that are 7.29, and Meijer across the street has some that are 6.79, and the local Dick's doesn't have archery. The slightly loose ones should work and are Black to go along with my stealth build. Had just enough filament left on the PETG spool to print all the parts. Great way to finish it off!Very close to having all the parts printed using an old spool of black PETG. Plan to use black foamboard for a sinister looking all dark build.

How do we feel about a 2207 motor on the end of this thing? I've got a few from a wreck quad.
I think it would work. I'm running a 2206 1900kv quad motor with a 3s battery and it works great. The hole spacing on the 3d printed motor mount is 16mm, 2 holes.How do we feel about a 2207 motor on the end of this thing? I've got a few from a wreck quad.
