Description

model by @Brawlybanana_2007759

 

Instructions:

Print flat on build plate at 0.2mm. No supports/brims needed

Let build plate cool sufficiently before removing from bed.

To assemble:

  1. Flip it so that the protrusions face down 
  2. Bend the vertical stabilizers up

     3. Adjust the elevators as needed

    4. Heat up the thicker part of the propellers bend 45 degrees

   5. Insert the hook of propellers into hole on body

   6. Hook on the rubber band 

Optional:

Bend the wings up for better flight

Apply WD40 or any lubricants onto the contact points of the hole and hook for less friction

 

To use:

Turn the propellers sufficiently 

Hold on the the propellers and place the plane on the edge of a table

Make sure the 2 hooks are on the edge

Let go of the plane and propellers to let it fly!

yea your print sucks!! lift could not counter act the torque of the propellar!! Try making the body and wings 5x thicker! The wings also need lift so it wouldn’t fly. Boo!
