FT Slow Stick S250

[Spitfire76]

In tinkercad you can set your build surface. Just set it it to the back of the motor mount and then make your cylindrical hole. It'll be angled correctly that way.

I am having trouble doing that in tinkercad could you please provide some more details on the steps needed.

I think that I worked it out.

FINALLY getting around to cutting and building mine as part of the FTCA24 Buildruary. I will probably have to redo my 3D prints, but am going to start on my all black stealth foamboard laser cut tomorrow.

If anyone is looking for inexpensive, perfect fit motors, for the "stock" 3D print files, I got these from BuddyRC for $5.99 ea.

Super Stealth Slow Stick S250 Ready for some delabeling, black heat shrink, black hot glue, and black permanent marker.

Good suggestion, but it looks like none of my local libraries do it. One of them apparently tried out several years ago but stopped. Probably difficult for them to keep it running.

I saw somebody post a link to the Ender 3 Pro on sale for $200. Is that a good printer for what we mostly do here?

For 200$ just add another 50 and get the Bambu A1 mini. Best printer I've ever had and is wireless so no pesky SD cards. Full auto leveling and supports Ams.

Bambu lab is the way to go they make it so much easier to get into the hobby without a ton of tinkering

So I've been wanting the pnp version of this plane but $200 is just too much. I've downloaded the plans but don't have access to a 3d printer. Would like suggestions on how to scratch build this without any 3d parts. I guess I could build of the stick fusealage with foam board/plywood to attach the wings and electronics. Wish FT would offer a speed build kit.

You could use a 3d printing service to get the parts.

You could always ask here and see if someone near you is willing to print them for you.

I have one where are you located?

Just printed these parts and cut out the foam. My foam board is 3/16 and the front wing holder has a gap of about 1/4 is this correct? It leaves a pretty big gap around the foam board.

Correct. Try glueing a small "spacer" piece of foam under the lead and trailing edge of the wing. Or glue the "spacer" directly to the wing mounts.

Thank you! I will do that.

So... We have been busy and, maybe made a super jumbo one by accident. lol

Your Super Jumbo Accident is looking pretty cool!

I made a Big Stick as well. My Better Half's previous employer gave me a length of carbon fiber tubing, and I used it for the Stick part.

Maiden flight video:

I have a flight video I will try and get it posted soon. It has quite the presence in the air being a 11 1/2 foot wingspan and 8 foot long.

Thank you it has taken over 4 months of cad work (that being said it was very slow indecisive cad) But it is finally done!

Considerably larger than mine, but if yours flies anything like mine does, I'm guessing it's a floater! Looking forward to the video!
