This is a well-balanced aircraft: it flies very straight without pointing up, down or sideways, it descends only when it slows down and it doesn't even require high speeds to fly. Five stars deserved!

Glad you like it. The tail can bend a bit to adjust if needed.

Yes, I saw. It seems to me that it's already going very well this way ;-)

The print quality in PETG was excellent. However, the initial test flight was less successful, as it nose-dived into my neighbor's window,

The plane is awesome. Takes some time to figure out how to lunch, maybe some update in description wil be great! Add photo is plane after initial testing... We have some trees in the garden. Going to print more in diferent colors!

Hello. Did you do bed leveling before the print? If yes, you can check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erw5c97-Np0 Thanks.

Model has been modified, with a nub to allow it to be easily launched with one or more rubber bands (the original rubber band groove can be frustrating and only holds one). It now flies very good on every flight, straight out of the printer, with a huge emphasis on loopings. Most flights will have two loopings, sometimes three - and if you get bored of loopings, you can still launch it “the old way” using the original groove on the bottom for the more random longer distance flights we've gotten used to. Also provided is a tiny rubber band holder that I made, which has the huge benefit of not letting the rubber bands fall off every few flights. Ideally, you'll want to have a slight downward motion of the launcher when releasing to avoid the model colliding with the launcher - this is true of all launchers (I think it's mostly down to the plane model, which I have barely modified with the nub).

Rubber band launcher mod with launcher, double loopings

one piece printed plane with launcher. it can fly a long way.&nbsp;Note that it can be broken easily if it hit hard ground. Try play it on lawn.&nbsp;If the plane drop very fast after launch, try tile the end of the tail up to make it flight further.&nbsp;To use the launcher: you need a rubber band. Put one side in the launcher, one side hook to the plane&#39;s head&#39;s socket. Pull the rubber band and release.
