It's a sort of like an armin wing I guess. I did similar style on the mighty mini nemesis although for this one it will be a flat bottom instead of symmetrical.

Motor mount printed. A few lessons learned tweaked the model and now going to print 2 more. Dose anyone have any idea where I might find a 1.5" Clockwise spinner (viewed from front) seems they only make spinners in CCW rotation. I dont really want to design and print one...

I printed out the plans, and just now reliazed (I hadn’t started building yet) but everything was SUPER small, is that how it’s supposed to be?, ex. Power pod is in inch long?

Sounds like your scaling is off. when printing open in adobe acrobat and print as a poster 100% scale like this:
This will break the 20x30 sheet size down to smaller 8.5 x11.

Could you post the plans in that size, as I don’t have Adobe acrobat, and dad doesn’t want me to get it

Just so you know, "Acrobat" and "Acrobat Reader" are different applications. Acrobat Reader is free.

Hope your dad will let you get the free one! (If the cost was his objection.)

Just about ready to start cutting foam on version 2. Basically a complete refresh on the design except the tail/battery hatch. All the new printed parts are finished. I am a bit unsure how well the wing will turn out but I'm gonna give it a try. Oh I guess I need to design a 3d printed spinner as well due to the counter rotating props...
I'll do that later though..

One of the best investments I have made in the hobby was building an ERC timesav. I am constantly amazed by how such a simple design can work so well.

Awesome, I have had the kit for months and haven't put it together. I am not the best at the electronics/ boards firmware type of stuff. Was it pretty easy to get running? I slowed down on the building of foam planes due to being tired of all the time it takes to free hand cut the parts.

Well I sourced all the stuff separately so I have a slightly different experience. I actually burnt up my 1st Arduino board (clone) and had a few weird experiences getting everything working but now that it runs I find it to be quite reliable. Coming from a design engineering background it was kind of fun learning some new stuff. I don't always get to see the manufacturing side of things and engineering that goes into it.
Same haha. I had a friend build it for me and he said the Arduino let out smoke when he plugged it in. I have no idea what to do now...

Double check your wiring and get a new uno board. They aren't too expensive. Try and find the component on the board that actually got burnt up. If you join the Facebook group that's the next step they can help you troubleshoot too.Same haha. I had a friend build it for me and he said the Arduino let out smoke when he plugged it in.

Got the wing assembled. One side had everything line up perfectly. The other was a bit off but not to noticeable. Just need to add the servos and wiring.

I love it when a design starts to come together. Much more enjoyable then fighting with CAD software on an ancient PC.

Thanks hopefully when it's done it will fly as well as the 1st. That would be great.

I will probably only ever run on 3s but this passed the structural test for a few seconds of 4s bursts. Seems to spin fairly true but could use a bit of sanding to help remove the layer lines. Its held together by 4 servo mounting screws.

Burnt my fingers twice gluing on the same little wing fillet. 3 more to go.
