Slightly different topic.. GLIDERS!

Think we may print up some more of the free versions of the Flightboard gliders.

Flightboard Light - 3d printed Glider

This Thing is NOT for commercial use. You can print it for yourself or your flyingbuddy, but please don´t offer it on any marketplace. It takes a lot of workinghours designing and testing such RC-Planes, so don´t be a D!ck! You can also download the newer Version "Flightboard Plus" on my...

Anyone interested in one? We can ship them ahead of time, they actually fly well and are super easy to build. If you say yes, you MUST bring it to Sunset. We will probably print in PETG so they don't melt in a car or during shipping.

We are also looking at making up a super simple little balsa model like the Aero-naut Pino:

You can hide the RC gear in the fuselage. We made a little wing test sample and it flies well. Any interest in some of these for Sunset? Should be great when the lift is super light. Should be an easy build. Guessing the price might be around $20 depending on the wood expense. Thinking 2 gram servos. Can be setup with ailerons or just rudder elevator.

Ill take one, i have a bunch of 9052 servos i ordered on accident, will those go in it?

During the day I write code for Adobe services, but that doesn't mean I can use our products. So when I was working on the image I was created I asked for help in my groups Slack channel. This morning I see a video somebody created. I'm not sure what tool he used, but I'm sure it was some AI thing.

 

[Wayne]

LOL

 

[Wayne]

Nate: Yes, I think the 9052 servos will work just fine. It is a plane you can build at the event while you are making supper.

 

[TRISME]

I think the brighter sky makes it look like a Sunset as opposed to moonlight.

Agreed. I thought it looked like a sunrise, but have NO experience. I can see it going either way.
I still like it though...

 

[Red]

I might be crazy......but aren't we on the West coast? Kind of automatically makes it a sunset doesn't it?

 

[Diceman]

Sorry for the late responses. Life is busy. LOL.
I do like Adam's simplistic design in #3, but I would change the font. I really like to plane in Adam's first attempt though, Very nice,
I do also like Nathans design a lot as well, just colors need help. LOL. Adam's color change reminds me of the Cal Bears colors. LOL.
Are you able to choose ask GPT to change the colors to what you want? Sorry, I am horrible with the AI stuff,

We do need to choose one quickly though! Thanks for all the help guys!

Here are a few color changes with the red plane (a Higgins Rodent XL). The last one is the same as the first, but has a different font.

I just added an alternate with a plane flying away. It is now an x-tail.

 

[Diceman]

Looking good. What does a circle shape look like? Instead of square? Just a thought.

 

[jure]

I like this one best
Adam's best design choice

I like the sun as the vanishing point, tail not interfering with the sun.

 

[agarchitect]

Two versions with a circlular format.

 

[Diceman]

That is pretty good! I like the X tail one myself.

How does evceryone else feel?

#2 and Nate's with different colors for a brighter feel.

Adam,
What about Nate's image that you made with CAL Bear colors? Can you change the colors closer to the last ones you made and also make it a circle shape?
Thanks! Id like to compare and see which one we like! Thank you!

 

[agarchitect]

Here you go. Some color options in a circular format.

 

[agarchitect]

Updated.

 

[Wayne]

I like these a lot. This would be my pick. Not sure of the differences with the first three. I spotted the change on the 4th.

 

[gp49]

@agarchitect how about one t-tail, one v-tail and one x? That should cover all (except for 'no tail')

 

[agarchitect]

A V, T, and X tail as requested. I also changed up the clothing and look of the pilots.

 

[gnichola]

How many colors can be printed?

 

[Tahoed]

How many colors can be printed?

Generally 4. More tends to get costly.
