# Summary

This is one of my older planes - its a good flyer, but there's a lot of better ones available to print now!   

Too big? A similar Full sized glider that can be printed on a 100MM bed can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:300168

# Instructions

Description: An efficient conventional glider, ideal for looping flights and long glides.  

Plastic: ABS  

Layers: .15mm  

Fill: 25%   

Perimeters: 2  

Solid Layers: 2  

filament use / weight (3mm) : Approx 1100mm  

Orientation:   
first layer lentghwise (0 degrees to fuselage), altrenate by 90 degrees. A 45 degree (or non right angle) axis will cause asymetrical wing warping under load (bad).  

Build Notes:   
Allow to cool before carefully removing from build platform. The wings are easily deformed during removal, and must be absoultely symmetrical for proper flight. Removal with a very thin plastic spatula (print one!) is preferred. Test fit all parts and trim if necesary prior to final assembly with a very small amount of CA Glue.  


Flight Notes:   

Launching is by hand or with a 1/16" (1.7mm) rubber band.   

Test and adjust by hand launching first.  

A slight elevator - up reflex is required for non-inverted flight. This is accomplished by latching the elevons up on the relex tabs on the aft end of the fuselage. A tiny drop of glue will prevent the elevons from moving from their latched position.  

A gradual test/adjust cycle is recommended. To correct turning or spiraling, differential elevator control (elevon) is preferred, though some aileron bending may be needed if the wings are warped from improper bed removal. Carefully bend this in with finger pressure, but avoid creasing or excessive strain.
