    • @jameshamaker9321
      @jameshamaker9321 11 месяцев назад

      I agree, with that. it would look cool, especially since they work with a lot of prop planes, which originally were, exactly a radial engine. so, it would look really cool. I studied planes, growing up, so I'm sharing some of my knowledge with you.

  • @eulachonfish
    @eulachonfish 3 года назад +11

    Yeah, double it up! This plane looks and flies great. I'm still hoping to see an FT 3d/foamboard hybrid plane some day. Printed formers, foamboard skin, printed accent pieces like cockpit, firewall, gear etc... way less print time than doing the whole plane and you should be able to create some great shapes. Seems like it would really be a FT sort of thing and whoever draws up the 2d plans for laser cutting should be easily able to make the jump to 3d for this sort of project!

      Polyalchemy is such beautiful filament, I have used that color and love it. I noticed they have a good bit less layer adhesion so I would be careful with that. However, I used that filament a few years ago, so they might have changed up the blend some and fixed that issue.

      Flite test is all about cheap fun in RC, look back into their long history as they have literal $5 builds out of dollar store foam and these 3d printed planes are not expensive either (looks like less than a $30 roll of filament to me). You have to buy a transmitter and power package (receiver, battery, motor) but these have come way down in cost. You can get into the hobby for a couple hundred bucks (mostly the transmitter) and fly for years with very little added money spent. Most parts can be salvaged in a crash. I say go for it
