I plan to be printing this plane soon and am currently sourcing the hardware.
I have a question regarding the carbon tube spars.
Can I get away with ordering 500mm length carbon Pultrusion tubes? And simply purchase double the quantity stated in the build manual?
I am based in Sri Lanka and thus have limited stocks for RC and have to order most parts from overseas.
Looking forward to hearing your comments.
Yes, I have made the plane, but the front wing has way too much flex. The carbon tubes aren't the issue. It is the fus where they are mounted. Will have to make some other plan to hold the cf tubes securely so they can take the load
Yes, I found all of them to be less than 500mm.
I also found you need to print F1 in something stronger than LW-PLA It isn't strong enough for the front wing landing gear!
