Lookin good! (BTW, go ahead and keep posting your updates here👍) Should I do anything with the title of the thread @AIRFORGE?

Will do 👍

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

On top?

On top?

Or on the side? One on each side?

 

[Mr Man]

Maybe if you put it on top closer to the cg… (would probably be easier to balance,,but you’re the one who’s built it, so you’d know best)

 

[AIRFORGE]

Maybe make a swappable open nose with the entire mechanism and camera enclosed and protected.

On top?

Thought of that..But I'm trying to have it, it can look 90 degrees down for VTOL landing or for mapping and I I'm not sure if the fuselage might get into the view unless it sticks wayy out...

Maybe if you put it on top closer to the cg… (would probably be easier to balance,,but you’re the one who’s built it, so you’d know best)

Yeah, its pretty forgiving and carries a 6500mah easy, but it would probably make it easier to flying and not have a tippy on the X axis👍

Maybe make a swappable open nose with the entire mechanism and camera enclosed and protected.

That sounds like an idea! I will look into it!👍

Hey guys! So I am going to try and design a fully 3D printed Rc airplane for the Thingiverse Take Flight Challenge and I am looking for ideas of what I should design! Should it be something super beginner friendly like a cub, mid speed FPV wing, or like a high end FPV VTOL platform? Or I could even do some sort of drone!
@RickHunter @Mr Man (You don't have to answer if you are my rival😂👍) @Jo's squadron @LitterBug @Proptastic @AIRFORGE and anyone else who has ideas!
Thanks for the suggestions in advance!

For a while I've been thinking with its big tip tanks, sort of complicated inlets, and the shape of the nose, a T-33 Shooting Star would be a better candidate for 3D printing than for foamboard.

I think the photo quality really makes it stand out!
