I love how much joy you get out of this. You love what you're doing and it shows. I don't even build models but I enjoy watching you do this. Thank you
Thank you for your excellent review of the Stream. In most reviews of 3D printed planes the flying conditions are perfect and all landings are 'greasers'. Real life, however, is different. Your review represents a more typical scene at the flying club - and what can happen to the plane! Good to see that it was repairable and that it flew again.
Hey, I subbed for the live streams but your edited vids are awesome too. Your 3d printed planes have gotten me to get my printer back up and running. As I write this, I'm printing some parts.
No, by design. I'm pretty sure the wing failure in the beginning was my fault due to insufficiently gluing. Two hard landings after repairs showed no issues.
some info. as it typical, this printed model has a Wonky dom. aka tail-heaviness, in the distribution of mass. when this Problem is present it Cannot be corrected by Adding mass, Forward. !!! in other words, this Problem PERSISTS Until it is Corrected. as practical, the Amount of mass in the stabs, in the tail boom and in the existing contours at the aft of the cabin/cockpit Should be Minimized. the main wing has a profile that is thin for the application; especially, at its leading edge. cheers googletranslate
how do you know the model is tailheavy? there is absolutely no way to tell a model is tail heavy by looking at it. you have no idea what you are talking about. do some research.
This is exactly how ALL planes are balanced, both full size and models, by distribution of mass. Admittedly, with the new Light Weight PLA filaments coming to market the tails feathers could be printed in this to help, but essentially there is nothing wrong with adding mass up front, be it a weight material, a heavier battery or heavier motor. The only negative to adding weight is increasing wing-loading and needing higher flight speeds to maintain lift. The plus is keeping strength over lightness, (to a degree).

@@daviddavids2884 - Thanks for the kind words. 🙄 I believe I do comprehend your comment, your stating that there's a design flaw in the excessive materials used aft of the cockpit area. However, you assume that Álvaro from Eclipson didn't already do what he could to make it as light as possible for that specific design. Who knows, he may have been thinking of keeping it more sturdy so the plane could be used by newer pilots. Or maybe he was still testing and figuring things out when he designed this plane. Without talking to him directly you really can't assume anything about the design, whether it was intended or not. You can see in their other designs they've actually gone towards more streamlined tail and fuselage structures to likely address this issue, so maybe they did realize there was a design problem. However, this design is already done, so the only way modelers can deal with it now is either use lighter weight filaments or print settings for the tail/fuselage or utilize other methods to balance the model. To scream at them that they need to completely redesign the model in order to "correct" the problem is just foolish. They're just working with what is there already. With that said, I do agree about the wings somewhat. I know I'd prefer seeing a small "D" structure in the leading edge of the wing. I don't feel it would add much weight at all but give a stronger leading edge. And if I'm still not "comprehending" your comment, then I'd say you're either inept in getting your point across or it's simply lost in the translation.

Can't order. Website says "coming soon".
@@lancelatta7456 , I was told it should be available for purchase some time later this week.
@@HobbyView Cool. We will have to wait and see I guess. Printer is ready to go!

Your joy is infectious! Watching you fly makes me want get out there! I am building my first airframe now, after have built a lot of custom drones.

Looks like a really good plane. Your reviews are really good like your comments and positive attitude
Great stuff, like your style. Thanks.
Got my printer running
that zero was so cool
Gorgeous look.
Very cool, thank you.
Lol hold my beer until I glue my wing back on, so much fun you having 👌😎
Congratulation, you've got 5minutes ad, and i watch it till the end, hopefully that Will be make you happy, LOL,
Has that plane held up? Or was it too fragile for weekly outings?
Dope channel. Just subscribed!!
Thanks!
Excellent!
i would love to print one of these how much plastic do I need
Looks closer to a Shark Aircraft than a Cirrus
Awesome work Fitz! Are we getting Hobbyview Live this weekend?
Maaaaybe. :p
OK, now it's time for Lee to do a video.
Tokyo Drift! Love it!! LMAO!!!
Can you build a rubber powered plane🤔🤔🤔
Rubber powered 3D printed plane?
No mian wing spar?????
No, by design. I'm pretty sure the wing failure in the beginning was my fault due to insufficiently gluing. Two hard landings after repairs showed no issues.
Knew it was a new field ,
My joke about you being faster was totally missed. You were sprayed in the face by accelerator.

That's the problem with 3d printed planes. They are extremely fragile.
yea, but you can easily make replacement pieces. There is also some new filament just coming out that should be more durable.
