Information about my 3D printing equipment you find in the post printing the Kodo. I tested single layer printing on my printer in PETG for this aircraft. My third printed RC plane is this Stearman. When the weather improves I will fly this plane.Īircraft Characteristics after Configuration and modificationĬalculations: Ecalc - reliable electric drive simulations Al static tests were OK, the plane was certified for flying at or RC terrain in Lier and had a photoshoot. Till now I did not maiden this RC Airplane. MOD5: After calculation with Ecalc bought an optimal Parkzone propeller instead of the standard available APC Electrical propellers. MOD4: Added A3super 3 Gyro from Hobbyeagle to improve stability and still to be able to use the ailerons as flaperons to reduce landing distance. MOD3: Printed a semi-transparent cockpit in PETG and airbrushed it black on the inside for the looks. MOD2: Made some wing parts stiffer by using a 2% rectilinear infill. MOD1: Modified STL files in the slicer Simpif圓D to scale some part in one axis to get more wing surface (+ 2 dm2).

I used a Pichler Boost 18 motor with KV 1050 with a Pichler Boost XQ 30 ESC, 4 Savox SH-0257 MG (Metal gear) servos, a Spektrum AR6610T 6 channel receiver, and a Turnigy nano-tech 3S 950 mAh battery. To be able to paint on PETG I used a transparent primer for all plastics in a rattle can. I experimented also airbrushing the other wings and the sides of the fuselage in the red color. Second, to reduce the flexibility in the four outer wing parts I used a small 2% vertical rectilinear infill This increased the weight only by 15 grams. This was possible to scale some wing part in one direction and create the main wing of 1.2 m instead of 1 m. First, I tried to limit the higher PETG density leading to higher wing load by enlarging the main wing surface. Printing this plane I tried to solve some drawbacks of printing RC airplanes in PETG. For more detailed information about my printing experience with PETG, you can read my post printing the Stearman. This plane is also printed in PETG except for the landing gears and servo holders who were printed in ASA. I would like to use this plane in the future for some camera work and/or FTV testing. For my fourth printed RC plane the Model Y from Eclipson.
