- When I first designed the SU-29, I had no idea it would become so popular. Today I'm thrilled to introduce the SU-29 V2: a fully redesigned version that takes performance and usability to the next level.

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the SU-29 V2 excels in performance, appearance, ease of use, and printability. Its clean vase mode design enables unmatched printing quality using LW-PLA, resulting in a lightweight yet robust construction that ensures exceptional 3D performance and reliability for daily use.
The SU-29 V2’s compact form factor not only facilitates a rapid build time but also makes it an ideal aircraft for daily practice to hone your flying skills. Each servo position and the pull-pull rudder system are engineered for short, play-free linkages, guaranteeing high precision in the large control surfaces.
Key Enhancements:
More realistic scale appearance
Optimized aerodynamics
Stable landing gear
Quick lock battery mount
Clean Vase Mode design for compatibility with all major slicers
Spring-loaded canopy lock and guide rails
Straight linkages for precise control
Stay tuned for more updates, and let me know what you think!
YES!!!!! Can't wait to build this plane. Purchased.
Any update?
Yes! I've not rebuilt the v1 specifically waiting for this, thank you
I recommend trying printing with other plastics - ASA Aero LT. It has good foaming, can withstand high temperatures and the most interesting thing is that the models are lighter. It is as close as possible to balsa in its characteristics.
LW-ASA is an excellent material that I’ve used for another project currently in progress. However, it does come with its challenges. It requires an enclosed printer to prevent warping, and sharp edges, such as the trailing edge, are prone to warping without using a glue stick. Additionally, dialing in the settings to prevent sagging between ribs can be time-consuming. That said, once the settings are fine-tuned, it prints quite well.
Looking forward to printing this out. I'm going to need some LW PLA first!
looks great - i can't wait to fly this plane, but i have to print it (so fast as possible :) )
Thank you! Good luck for your build and maiden 😊
Did u print it?
Any recommendations for printer settings on any certain filaments
@@mvr4343 The files come with all settings needed for the build. I recommend using Colorfabb LW-PLA.
can you share your printer settings for best results
I use the same settings provided with the files. I print with the BambuStudio files on my X1C, and the settings for other slicers are identical for my Voron Switchwire.
God Damn It! Just when I was saying ''enough, I spent too much this Christmas'' Never clicked so fast to buy a set of Files? What do I think about this model? First of all, as soon as I saw you using a Bambu printer to print the Parts it was a big push that let me buy it because I knew it must have the tried and tested 3mf files. The size of the model is just right, and the wing and battery attached are pure genius, the only thing that I don't like is the usage of too many carbon rods and tubes. It's not that I don't like it, but because of costs, especially the wing tube, I will need to join Two 500mm tubes because most of them I source from Aliexpress, 1m Tube would be too expensive because of the shipping charges.
For the Aileron hinging method I prefer if it was by use of filament itself instead of the carbon rod, I know the rod is more straight, and rigid and would aid in a more precise Aileron hinge but at least a cheap secondary option would be a great addition, Don't get me wrong, I love the Model how it turned out it's just an opinion and perhaps a suggestion.
One thing I would like to ask is, the 3MF Files for the Bambu Printer are the filament settings set for a particular brand of LW-PLA, Like Esun, colorfabb etc?
Thank you so much for your support and feedback-I truly appreciate it!
Regarding the carbon rods and tubes, I completely understand your concerns. While they do add strength and precision, the costs can certainly add up. For this version, I’ve reduced the amount of carbon wherever possible compared to V1. The primary focus for this model was on performance and reliability.
Over the years, I’ve tested various hinge options, including filament, TPU/CA hinges, and other printed alternatives. In my experience, carbon provides the best play-free and smooth-running hinges. The rods enhance strength and maintain the form stability of the ailerons, which is crucial during extreme 3D maneuvers. It’s not the cheapest option, but most rods can be salvaged and reused even after a crash. You may find a company in your country that specializes in carbon parts, offering rods and tubes that can be cut to your specified sizes-this can often save time and shipping costs.
The print profiles have been tested using ColorFabb and 3DLP filaments. ESUN should work as well-just measure the wall thickness of a single-wall print, which should fall between 0.52 and 0.58 mm.
Best of luck with your build, and happy flying!
@3dblackbox thank you for your Reply, may I also ask you why in the filament profile for the Lw-pla the temperature is set to 270deg? any specific reason why it's that high? I Know that the filament expands and foams up with temperature but usually I use it between 230 to 240 deg.
@@ripmax333 We're aiming for a wall width of 0.52-0.58mm. Printing at 100mm/s requires higher temperatures for LW-PLA to foam the same amount. My slower 50mm/s profiles are printed at 245C.
I HAD THE STL / GCODE FILES NOW THAT I HAVE TIME TO PRINT ANS BUILD I CANT FIND THEM. WAS THEIR A LINKE TO THE FILES?
Hi! If you've purchased the design, you should have received a download link. You can also access the files anytime through the "Your Hangar" section on your account page.
does this use the same electronics as the v1?
I swapped the motor for a more readily available one, but the rest of the electronics remain unchanged. The complete list of electronics and BOM is available in the manual on the website.
How did you paint it so perfectly?
Airbrush, acrylic spray paint for the large areas, quality masking tape and a lot of patience. A tutorial video is already on my todo list ;)
Hi awesome aircraft and seriously considering purchasing.
Does it come with a recommended parts list for the electronics?
@@patrickhaybittle2312 Thank you, I appreciate it! You can download the manual from the product page. It includes a list of the recommended setup and bill of material.
How many printed part?
You can find an overview of all parts in the manual.
Hello everyone. I love the project... and I am pulling the trigger to it, but... I never had an RC Plane before... Long experience on managing RC Cars and Drones... but no planes... So, comes the question... Anybody recommends a good Simulator to practice flying lessons?? Thanks in advance and congrats to the project... pristine presentation.
Thank you for the kind words; I'm thrilled you like the project! While I would love to see you enjoy this plane, I must caution you that it’s not an ideal choice for a first RC plane, even with RC car and drone experience. Flying planes is quite different and comes with a steep learning curve.
Using a simulator is an excellent way to get started, and I highly recommend RealFlight Evolution.
To make your journey enjoyable, I suggest starting with a foam plane, ideally a high-wing trainer model. They are forgiving and perfect for learning the basics. After getting comfortable and gaining some experience, I’d be happy to see you back here for your first build!
@@3dblackbox Thank you for the quick response. I will follow your tips. Thanks again and I wish you a Happy New Year.
@@rafaelaugustodasilva You're very welcome! I’m glad I could help. Wishing you a Happy New Year as well, with lots of fun and success in your RC flying journey.
any way to get graphics ?
@@TheBenrocc I can add them to the files, but honestly it's easier to do them by hand. Wrapping graphics around the curvatures is really tricky.
@@3dblackbox my wife works at a sign shop so she prints all the vinyl for me for my planes , excited for this build thank u
Made in ...?
