I wanted something quick and easy... hopefully to work on my piloting skills. I decided on an FT Mini Arrow. I wanted a pusher to test my propeller experiments https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/designing-propellers.73649/ and also to test some the Telemetry experiments https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/diy-telemetry-and-control.72547/ with an airplane instead of a truck. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I couldn't leave well enough alone since I was going to use my 3D printed motor mount anyway, I decided to throw some other 3D prints at it. The wings are stock per the instructions, except I'm using 9 gram servos and had to turn the servos. I made 3 pieces. A motor mount with integrated intakes for cooling. A slide on nose piece to go over the battery bay and the tail piece that grasps the nose and fairs it a bit. I'm not really happy with the aesthetics, but I want to go flying today. Probably hard to tell what's going on but I didn't draw the plane.
