3D model description

The prototype video shows the squared wingtip plane with a 3S 1300 mAh battery taking off vertically: https://youtu.be/7Y7wj5tPXrk

It is a relatively fast model capable of vertical take off and wild maneuvers using individual throttle control. The bumps under the wing are 35 mm from the leading edge are a good starting point for balance. I recommend printing the square wingtips (Wing05 with the wingtip fences (Wing06). The swept back wingtips (Wing04) have worse stall performance but fly ok. It's extremely maneuverable and sensitive in roll.

-Squared off wing panels use Wing03, Wing05, Wing06, Aileron01 and Aileron03.
-Swept back wing panels use Wing03, Wing04, Aileron01 and Aileron02-

The wing panels are symmetricla and can be mounted with the servo horn on the top or bottom as desired. The CG bumps are made to be used with the panels in the servo horn down orientation.

LW-PLA or similar is best to keep the overall weight and tail weight low. The surfaces behind the CG are large and will be heavy unless they are printed light.

Use nylon filament or some other 1,6-2mm rod for the aileron hinge points.

Use CA hinges for the tail control surfaces.

The printable clevises can be glued to the ends of 1,5-2mm carbon rods, and the shackles are for the aileron threaded control arms.

Wingspan: 720 mm
Length: 570 mm (with Nose01)
Weight: 600-750 g
CG: ~35 mm
Control surface deflection: <10mm all around

Materials needed:
-CA hinge material.
-Countersunk M3x8 and M3x25 screws for wing attachment to fuselage, and wing attachment to carbon wing tube.
-M3x12 mm grub screws for attaching the propellers to the motor shaft.
-6 mmx350 mm carbon tube for the wing attachment.
-1,5 mm carbon or steel pushrods for the controls.
-2 mm and 4 mm bamboo, wood or carbon rod for the alignment of parts and the hatch latch mechanism.
-4 mm spring for the hatch latch mechanism.

-5 typical 6-9 g servos can be used.
-2205 mm 2600kv drone motors are used in the prototype but the motor plates are drilled for a large variety of motors. CW or CCW doesn't matter: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/3GDGcvgTAH
-30 A ESC: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/KKmGEpk2in
-3S 1500-2200 lipo. Heavier battery is needed to balance if the model is printed heavy: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/3GvDpDADN6

3D printing settings

0% infill for everything.
The large pieces can be printed with 0,25 to 0,4 mm extrusion width single extrusion. A 0,4 mm nozzle works fine for this range. 0,25 is much lighter off course, but 0,4 mm ends up smoother and stronger. The prorotype was printed with 0,4 mm walls LW-PLA.

2 bottom layers and six top layers works fine for most things. Expert users will want to vary this along the print as they see fit.

I print the propellers with 0,08 mm layer height and 0,3 mm extrusion width. 0% infill, 12 bottom and top layers and 4 perimeters. 100% cooling fan.
