Description
✈️ Gentle Goose – A 3D-Printed Twin-Engine Aircraft Model
The Gentle Goose is a fully 3D-printable aircraft designed with precision, creativity, and practicality in mind. Inspired by iconic planes like the Fairchild C-82 and the fictional Conwing L-16, this original design blends vintage charm with modern engineering.
Crafted from extensive experience in RC modeling and 3D printing, the Gentle Goose offers a smooth flying experience and an accessible build process—perfect for hobbyists and makers alike.
🛠 Features:
- Twin-engine configuration for balanced power
- Dual rudders, elevator, ailerons, and flaps for full control
- Eight-channel setup (can be reduced to six by omitting flaps)
- Designed for hand launch (no water or ground takeoff in v1.0)
Whether you're a seasoned RC pilot or a 3D printing enthusiast, the Gentle Goose delivers reliability, character, and fun in one elegant package.

Note:
Currently, the assembly instructions are available only in German. However, I’ve included plenty of images, so the guide should be easy to understand even without the written explanations.
A few personal notes: I designed the Gentle Goose myself and invested many hours of my free time into it. This project is not intended for profit. Nevertheless, I’d be thrilled if you liked my project on www.makerworld.com, used the links from the BOM, or supported me directly via Buy Me a Coffee. That helps me improve the Gentle Goose and develop features like water landing, landing gear, or an FPV conversion kit. Now, have fun building and flying!
