FT Vectors, with Direction and Magnitude!

[BS projects inc.]

Did you get any pics or videos?

Unfortunately I did not, the build was very fast paced and I did not think to take any pictures before it ended up in the dumpster It was a pretty standard build though. Here is the thrust vector mount I used. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532455

No vid it didn't happen

Did you fly it into the dumpster, cuz that would have been awesome to see

Got the LE's of the wing ironed, and I test fitted the wing to the fuse.

That thing looks huge man, are you gonna do any fancy angles to the nose?

It would be a shame if you didn't

Love the Andres-esque geometry on the fuse!

Yeah, it wouldn't be too hard to add them...

Hi! How much was the file and how long did it take to print? Did you throw away the mount or could you post a pic so we can see how it turned out?

It's a bank and yank plane so the 3D aspect of it is limited, did you have the hidden rudder installed?

No need to butter me up, I know how to handle being made fun of @Wildthing taught me the hard way😛

I missed this thread and your comment, good to hear I am making your life rough .

Haha, I wondered why you never responded to that

Looks like a cool little project.

The mount was pretty small, about an hour of printing, and to get the ball to fit in the socket I heated up the socket with a lighter so that the plastic would give way just enough for the ball to fit in. The file was free and I threw the part away afterwards. Fairly straight forward print though.

No, I would consider this project a "rapid prototyping" experience

One more thing and then I'll let it die. How did you modify the slot to accommodate this?

 

[Grifflyer]

Ironed up the TE's and cut the elevons loose @BATTLEAXE will ironing the hinge line add a bit more stiffness to the control surface?

Yes for sure, ,if it does it to the TE it will help with flex from the horn to the tip. You could event do the wing side of the hinge slightly just to seal it and add strength

I actually didn't cut out the slot at all, I didn't extend the elevons past the rudders either and the motor mounted to the rear of the plane.
