    Mine is printed in white LW-PLA, TO-weight with 1550mAh 4S is 670g. I maidened it on Saturday 14.09.24, calm wind, a bit coudy. It flies great right from the start ( I use a catapult ) with no gyro.
    2 things to mention :
    1 - It needs colour. It was difficult to see the orientation when it was far away.
    2 - Don't use cyano-glue to glue the elevons as it does not realy stick on the
    servohorn-material. I lost one elevon at the landing ( no damage ) and could
    easyly pop of the second one.
    I use hot-gue now.
    As I see your experience right now, I will print the F-16 also in PETG,
    Thank you for the video.

      I am really puzzled. I have just finished mine using Overture Air pre-foamed LW-PLA and with a 4S 1500mAh my AUW is 845g! I used the recommended wall and infill settings and an XFly 50mm EDF and somehow I am a whole battery heavier than you!

      @@Colin_Holloway he probably used active foaming lwpla. in case you didn't know, active foaming pla is significantly lighter than pre-foamed pla.

    Thanks 👍for this experiment. I too wondered if it was possible for a more budget and robust filament with his designs. I prefer flying them versus reprinting due to my inexperience hand launches and buddy launches 😂. Finally got a few dialed in and actually flying. LW is probably the correct way to go but preference wise Cleaner and less fuss with basic PLA etc…either way they all damage eventually. Just less on the filament cost at least and better accessibility. Only downside for me is crap flight times 😊but still fun at least.

    Yes you do have to fly faster with the petg or heavier materials that is for sure. I'm still trying to find a good link on how to set up a gyro properly with an elevon if there is any information that be fantastic

    You should try ABS! It is 20% lighter than PLA and has a lot of benifits

      I have ABS+ laying around. Good idea!

      @@antoniomedina9136 I'm designing a dassault rafale right now. I printed that out of ABS+. Of course heavier than LWPLA and LWASA, but it flew great. Thanks for the comment!

    That is so cool. Do you have a fpv camera mount that you can put on your plane?

    I love it, this models are so nice, is a crime to flight them, LOL Nice job.

    Why not leave the gyro on in winds like that?.... Also try abs it's a little harder to print depending on ur printer but lighter than pla or petg and very durable..

    PetG does has it's advantage, sadly sanding it to make it look all nice for painting is not one of its strong points.
