ok well here it is. I have absolutely no video editing skills so be patient with me as I figure out a style. Also I know the plans may not be what you're used to but I think this way works out well. Please let me know if you have any constructive feed back about the plans or overall video I want this to be easy to understand.

which link?
For the STL files. Seems to be a pass through through youtube (it shows a link to continue to the thingiverse site.

On a couple of the pieces in the plan there were two lines, might be a tad confusing which is the cut line.
Pictures for the fuselage might be a tad better as some of the dimensions were hard to make out.

Ok I'll look back throught it when I get some free time. This is such a busy time of year to be starting this :p.. Also I my plane met the ground this morning at full throttle and this was the result. I have to say, I'm surprised it held up as well as it did. I was worried about the flimsy feel of it but heres a pic.. Nose cone and prop are destroyed natrually.

That sucks! You did such a great job of painting it too.... how did it fly before, or was this the maiden?

def. not the maiden.. and its so easy to fly.. u can set the throttle and just do patterns its great. very scale and very rewarding.

an unforntunate end to the best prototype. It has paved the way for the future of my plane designs and even in failure it teaches me more.

so my previous crash damaged the wing and i didnt notice it so the next flight the wing folded and it just went straight down.

Man, if you invested some time into CAD you'd have some good plans for a slick bird! As it stands, I'd say this is tough to replicate.

So the formers are supposed to be print and trace. Is it the images that are confusing?

Well, it's just a lot easier to have everything drawn up in CAD so we can print it out and consistently build your design. As it stands it'd be a lot of work to follow plans based on measurements. Scaling is a challenge too. How do we know what we print is the correct scale?
