Description

I hope you enjoy the model I've had fun tinkering with. Please see some notes below which might improve your experience:

No outside materials required! Rubber bands and glue are totally optional.

When removing the card from the bed, do so gently or the connections may break.

If the plane doesn't behave the way you want it to, bend the foils. For my prints, bending the foils on the rear wing downward made it fly nice and smoothly.

Very nice idea. Easy to print, even scaled down for Bambu A1 Mini. But the model is very tail heavy. For the model to fly properly, the fuselage must be shortened by 20-25%. The center of gravity must be 1/3 to 1/4 of the wing depth (measured from the wing leading edge). Please send me the Fusion-360 File. I will try to correct this.

Really does not fly just kinda falls. It needs 3 things to actually fly. 1. Wings are flat. They need dihedral. 2. The wings and horse. stab are on the same plane in line with each other. Can't share the same air. 3. If the wings had some camber (airfoil) they would create more lift. More lift is needed because it's heavy. Send me the Fusion 360 file and I can fix it.
