Matagami,
huge thanks for the V2 pdf plans !! plan is to devote january to the build.
Getting closer to cutting foam. Redesigned the internals completely and changed the nose to have better curves.

Not so sure about the accuracy of the cad but it looks like the new wing position and bigger, better motor will make it way nose heavy... basically the opposite from before. I plan to strap the battery on-top of the gear spars with a hatch that opens on the bottom but if it turns tail heavy i have plenty of room in the nose to move things further forward. Need to finalize the printed cowling, Tail servo routing( plan to use ptfe tubing sandwiched between the fin pieces), hatch magnet bracket, wheel pants, cabane struts, add a spot for the flaps, and give it all another once over.
That REALLY looks GREAT!
I can't wait to be able to afford a 3D Printer. There's so many amazing files like this, that adds so much to something that some see as just a "Cheap Foam Board Aircraft"!!
We know better. 😉
Thank you!!! That Printer is still at the top of my Want List!! It might be just user friendly enough for a CAD STUPID Guy like me to actually USE!!! 😜😂I would definitely recommend the ender 3. Not alot of bells and whistles but a solid overall printer at a good price point. Tons of upgrades out there too.
Is that a Time SAV you are cutting the plans with?Sheet 1 looks good! Printing some servo horns, firewall, and other parts too...
Kind of wondering at what point do you go from using flite test 9 gram servos to metal gear or even 12 gram MG servos?

I have one that i need to put together. Hopefully all goes smoothly.It is. I have done a few projects with it now. I have a love/hate relationship with it as I dont follow the normal inkscape work flow and am currently fighting the gcode/grbl controller to do arcs the way I intend. In the past I would convert these to poly lines but as they say ain't nobody got time for that...
