Stealth Indoor Glider v9
Print Profile(3)
Description
Description
This thrown indoor glider prints in PLA, taking 33 minutes and weighing 7 grams. It mimics the B-2 Spirit, with a wingspan of ~200mm and a smooth glide. When done properly, it should fly smoother than a paper airplane. No AMS is needed, however there is a 40 minute AMS profile which includes the black windshield shown in the photo.
Instructions
Scrape below the edge of a wing, pull both up and out carefully to release it. Repeat on other side, then peel off center carefully with scraper and force.
Flip the model to find a slot for the weight. Push the weight into the slot in the orientation shown until you hear a click. (Tip: Start with the weight in on one side and push down the second side. This ensures that the connector will not break.)
Flip over and fold the 4 outer elevons up 45 degrees. Do not fold the cosmetic inner elevons.
Flight
To throw the glider, hold it using the form shown above. Launch it as you would a paper airplane or a dart. Expect a stable and steady flight. If the plane veers to a side, ensure that outer elevons are folded similarly on both sides.
Enjoy!

I've been working on this project since v4, however making a flying wing at such a scale proved to be difficult. To fund future projects, a boost would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
