NOTES

CG is marked on bottom of plane with an inset circle. In my experience, this CG location requires a tiny bit of up elevator to fly level.  Feedback from first tester indicates that this CG is a neutral position and they preferred a slightly more forward CG. I will leave it as is.

MOTOR MOUNT has been updated for 16mm spacing drone motors.

Printing Settings:

!!Use brim for all larger parts, lifting up even a small amount will create parts that are hard to combine cleanly!!

!!Zhop is highly recommended for tall parts to decrease the likelihood of knocking them over!!

    • 0.25mm layer height
    • 0% infill

    • For Wing Tip:
      • Change to 0.16mm layer height, to allow for curvature
