JD2 "Dyke Delta" - snap-together Peanut-scale sling-launch 2.5b

Bimmy submitted a new resource:

JD2 "Dyke Delta" - snap-together Peanut-scale sling-launch - you can throw a rock farther, but it won't look nearly as cool.

This whole project is a work in progress, and this little sling-launch thing is just a distraction, but it's neat... so here it is. I hesitate to call it a "glider," but I guess that's what this version is.

Obviously all credit for the original design goes to John Dyke, and the plans that I loosely copied were drawn by "Laddie Mikulasko." The CAD work was a heck of a task, though, so these stl files are for personal use, education, gifts for your nephew, etc etc. No profit allowed... not...

Bimmy updated JD2 "Dyke Delta" - snap-together Peanut-scale sling-launch with a new update entry:

Fillets

This just adds a bunch of fillets and chamfers to v2.4. The original plane has pretty sharp corners, so I didn't see this as necessary, but some parts look better. Can't guarantee it'll print better with single walls, either. Sometimes fillets can make it leave gaps.

Launch hook and Penny Weights

Ignore v2.5, I might have forgotten the hook on the underside... I also included a nose with slots for pennies or dimes
