Description
A true classic, back in a new edition. The Flying Stick is a hybrid 3D-printed + foam RC airplane with a 120 cm wingspan — quick, affordable and easy to build. A complete build, electronics included, should come in under €100.
The airframe combines 3D-printed parts with 3 mm XPS/Depron foam. All printed components use affordable PETG; ABS is recommended for the landing-gear mounts for extra durability. Most parts print support-free at 20% grid infill.
