3D model description

This is a thoroughly designed 3D printable lightweight rubber-band engine plane. I spent considerable amount of time with prototype testing and refinement to improve printability, flight characteristics, and rigidity. The latter is essential since harder landings are impossible to avoid.
Flexibility was a further design parameter. The Airy-71 can be used as rubber-band engine model and sailplane. Changing between these two modes of operation is possible within seconds.
Most components are designed for printing with Light Weight PLA. The propeller and some other small parts are printed in PLA to withstand stronger forces and to obtain the desired center of gravity position.
