that would be great to get a full part list. The assembly I can then probably figure out myself. the filament I want to use for it arrives next week then I'm going to start building it.
Thank you, it is not that advanced geodesic structure, all triangle arms have the same length, so basically there is nothing to calculate. It can be printed also using ABS (more here 3dprintedrcplanes.com/how_to/).
Bravo. Can I make a request ? Please make a comparison between 3D-printed wings, foam with balsa planking and ribbed construction. A small E-Sailplane would be the most suitable, the test method (s) could look like: glideratio at 0%, 15%, 30% gas, stall (quality and quantity), maximum speed and stability. As far as I know nobody (worldwide) made such a comparison!
That is excellent idea. Although it is so much more complex than one would think. You would need to have the same plane made out of these materials. Aerodynamic design is the most important thing. Aerodynamically poorly designed plane can be made out of carbon and fly worse than some EPP plane that is designed well. Also it is very difficult to exactly measure some of these aspects (if not all of them). But definitely at least some comparison of similar planes from each category would be great to see in real life. Unfortunately I do not have time resources for such thing, I'm sure there are many youtube channels that are doing reviews and would be happy for good content ideas like this one. So try to suggest it to some :-)
Wing joiner rods on the fuselage have OUTER diameter of 3 mm and 4 mm, carbon spars in wings have INNER diameter of 3 mm and 4 mm. This way joiner rods fit nicely into wing spars. Tape is then used to secure the wing where trailing edge of the wing is touching the fuselage. On my other plane (Maripi) I improved this and prepared hooks on the wings so that rubber band can be used to fix the wings in place.
Still a bit heavy, which doesn't matter on slope, but not good for flat airfield and calm weather. Slope plane needs to be strong & stiff, thats something i'm afraid of theses 3d printed planes. Weight of this one (which is really light between 3d printed) is still higher than on my 2.5m glider.
Right after I'm done with Roa II (test launch should be in couple weeks) I plan to rework Kodo. Since I designed Kodo I improved some things here and there in my design. I'm sure I can make it little bit lighter but mostly stronger because that bothers me personally on the slope the most. I would like to add also flaps, that I miss also a lot on the slope.
Really hard to tell. I newer fly this kind of plane motor only, its always some thermal or slope and then it varies hugely based on the conditions. I would say minimum 8 min, maximum infinite :-)
I plan on printing one of these as soon as I get my printer. It looks like it flies great
Perfect landscape perfect rigid glider👍👏
I love your planes but I want to design one myself. Can you make a tutorial where you show how to design an rc plane ?
Amazing design. Very well done!
Beautiful bird! I just purchased the plans from your site. I'm going to try it in HIPS (the friendly ABS...).
very nice! now a large glider...4 meter...ASW 28?
Like your work. Well done
Great project! I'll definitely print one.
I'm just not as talented with the electronics, is that also explained in your assembly guide I get?
Unfortunately not, but there are plenty of tutorials all over the internet. I will prepare some quick overview of what I use.

Great Video !!
Hi, very very nice glider, how do you choose and calculate the geodesic structure? do you print with ABS?
Thank you, it is not that advanced geodesic structure, all triangle arms have the same length, so basically there is nothing to calculate. It can be printed also using ABS (more here 3dprintedrcplanes.com/how_to/).
Hello how much is this glider? are you planning to make smaller version for Park fly or just smaller but different plane types. ? thanks
Pricing is available at 3DprintedRCplanes.com. I have many designs in my todo list and small park flyer is one of those.
Great video of a great plane. One of the most beautiful flying sites I've seen.
amazing!
Beautiful... this is the furture...
Bravo.

how much its weight and wing loading, according to 1600mm WS....
Weight as flown in the video is 850g.
Wing loading is 34 g/sq.dm (11.13 oz/sq.ft).
How do you fix the wings to the fuselage?
Wing joiner rods on the fuselage have OUTER diameter of 3 mm and 4 mm, carbon spars in wings have INNER diameter of 3 mm and 4 mm. This way joiner rods fit nicely into wing spars. Tape is then used to secure the wing where trailing edge of the wing is touching the fuselage.
On my other plane (Maripi) I improved this and prepared hooks on the wings so that rubber band can be used to fix the wings in place.
but they remain removable??
Sure, after you are done with flying, you just remove the tape and take it all apart.
thank you i can finish my plane
En Chile donde puedo conseguir los "carbón tube" ?
No idea, you have to search yourself.
hey how heavy is the wing alone ?
Whole wing including covering and metal gear servos weights 372 g.
Hello, very nice design. The location looks like one of the finest on God's green Earth. Where are you... Iceland?
Slovakia + Austria
Beautiful design, nice flying, gorgeous surroundings... I am impressed!

what flying time?

@@kragamodels7285 And the 2308 motor with 10 inch prop is suitable for long-distance flights?
Shes beautiful
Dedicate this to ignorants from FAA! Wonderful job! :)
WooW Good Job ;) Crack
