Your design looks good. Which CAD program are you using? I've been using Fusion360. It's a bit clunky, but i think Inventor or Solidworks is much more expensive, and I like Fusion's CAM features. I've been using Autodesk Inventor professionally since 2007 and finally have the ability to create my own designs and make them with my 3D printer. The parametric designing available in Fusion (and Inventor & SW) really helps with changing your design on the fly it's just not as obvious in Fusion. At first I reverted (and still do at times) to designing like you would in a nonparametric CAD program, which isn't good for a functional part. I've been using regular supports with decent results. Sometimes, when i use organic ones they get broken off halfway up.
Thanks! All my designs have been through Inventor. I agree, that the software is beneficial when designing and creating functional parts. Regarding organic supports, I have learned that using a thicker wall and slowing them down during your prints is the trick.
You can use smart fill to paint entire surfaces.
I just researched that setting up, thanks! That will save me a lot of time!

I might have missed it in your videos. What battery fits in the fuselage?
The Goosky 750 mAh battery.
