Der TwinLidl,

die alten breiten Räder mit dem TPU-Reifen waren nur eine Notlösung, da ich sie bereits schon mal für ein anderes Project gedruckt hatte. Die Befestigung des Rades mit nur zwei 3mm Keflar Stäben war nicht stabil genug und bei der Landung sind sie gebroche. 

Jetzt kommen die neuen aerodynamischen Räder mit neuer Halterung und Federung zum Einsatz. Habe sie bereits getestet und sie sind richtig super. Kaum Luftwiderstand und das Rollen bei Start und Landung ist auch super.

Das Fahrwerk ist rechts und links unterschiedlich. Die Räder sind rechts und links gleich.
Radbefestigung ist eine M3 Senkkopf Schraube mit Mutter. Die Mutter habe ich mit Sekundenkleber fixiert.

SoftRF case for Mini Edition ( Heltec CubeCell-GPS HTCC-AB02S)

This type of enclosure is built around [Heltec CubeCell-GPS](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AaoUDH) LoRaWAN GNSS tracker board.

SoftRF is an open project (GNU GPL) of aircraft collision avoidance avionics.

SoftRF is compatible with four most common ISM band  aircraft collision avoidance protocols:
- "Air V6" ;
- OGN tracker ;
- PilotAware ;
- FANET+ (Skytraxx).

Website: http://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF

There are three variants of main **Body** part:
- with no pin header access (-NPH file name suffix)
- with partial pin header (-PPH suffix)
- with full pin header access (-FPH)

The enclosure is designed to fit a 44 x 22 x 6 mm 600 mAh Li-Po battery.

If you are unable to print these parts by yourself - you may consider to find an appropriate local 3D service provider and place an order with assistance of [Treatstock](http://www.treatstock.com) or [3DHubs](http://www.3dhubs.com) portals.

<p>This testing peace is first section of right wing from 3D printed hand launch plane KRAGA Tere. If you are able to print this part you should be able to print whole plane.</p>

<p>KRAGA Tere is 70 cm big hand launch glider without remote control which is printed on 3D printer and reinforced with carbon spars.</p>

<p>Rafts: Yes</p>

<p>Notes: </p>

<p>The part has to be printed as shell - 0% infill and no horizontal surfaces (thickness of the shell is one layer). Only this way you can achieve required weight of the plane. </p>

<p>Nozzle: 0.4 mm Layer thickness: 0.19 mm Rafts: yes Use the default orientation and whatever printing material.</p>

<p>Result verification</p>

<p>Your result should weight 6 g. The wall of the shell should be printed by one pass of printing head so that the shell is very thin. You should be able to fit carbon tube with diameter of 2 mm into spar leading holes (bottom side of the part). </p>

<p>I recommend to try to cover testing part with covering film to test if material of your choice will not deform from ironing heat and if covering film will stick on it (I tested many materials with multiple covering film brands without issues but it can theoretically happen).</p>

<p>&quot;Red Baron II: Hand Launched Biplane Glider&quot; is yet another hybrid PLA / balsa wood hand launched glider and is the result of the numerous thoughtful comments and emails I received regarding my &quot;Red Baron Hand Launched Glider&quot; model. Some reminded me that while indeed Mr. Schulz&apos;s &quot;Snoopy&quot; character was at the helm of his doghouse, he imagined it to be a &quot;Sopwith Camel&quot; which of course is a &quot;biplane&quot; not a &quot;monoplane&quot;. So in thanks to those who reminded me, here&apos;s the biplane! And as is the monoplane model, this model is designed for indoor / calm weather outdoor flying.</p>

<p>The design combines a 3D printed fuselage structure in conjunction with balsa wood flight surfaces in order to minimize weight and increase glide performance. Consisting of only three 3D printed fuselage components, and three 3D printed templates (used for cutting the six flight surfaces from 1/32&quot; balsa wood), this model is pretty easy to print, assemble and fly. I used 3D printed templates for cutting the flight surfaces knowing I had many more of these to make.</p>

<p>As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make mistakes in plenty.</p>

Red Baron II: Hand Launched Biplane Glider



"Red Baron II: Hand Launched Biplane Glider" is yet another hybrid PLA / balsa wood hand launched glider and is the result of the numerous thoughtful comments and emails I received regarding my "Red Baron Hand Launched Glider" model. Some reminded me that while indeed Mr. Schulz's "Snoopy" character was at the helm of his doghouse, he imagined it to be a "Sopwith Camel" which of course is a "biplane" not a "monoplane". So in thanks to those who reminded me, here's the biplane! And as is the monoplane model, this model is designed for indoor / calm weather outdoor flying.

The design combines a 3D printed fuselage structure in conjunction with balsa wood flight surfaces in order to minimize weight and increase glide performance. Consisting of only three 3D printed fuselage components, and three 3D printed templates (used for cutting the six flight surfaces from 1/32" balsa wood), this model is pretty easy to print, assemble and fly.
