I finished v4 of the glider and did shrink it down even more so when I ship it it’ll be easier for everyone to print themselves on one build plate. I did test it on VSPAERO and it should fly really well still. The supports are really annoying in the slicing software (orca) as the plane has huge wings that need supports unless you cut it and epoxy/glue it on later - which has its own issues.

@Imversia

does it not need a rudder to keep flying straight? (not an expert just curious)

@rachat

i’ve really fine tuned the center of gravity and angled (dihedral) wings like in this design really help with replacing the rudder

@rachat

i’ll probably end up adding one for stability but it worked rlly well in aerodynamic simulations and i want to keep the filament cost low-ish
