my name is tommy im in year 9 and this is my first time using the fusion 360 tool as well as pursa slicer. i made a fully modular plane with a moving ruder and elevators i find it very fun to play with this is also my very first 3d printing project. in the final version i made i used the EPPLER 393 AIRFOIL (e393-il) air foil shape as it is used in most gliders.

Air Foil Shape

to make the plane i looked at other plans and gliders and chose to use the EPPLER 393 AIRFOIL (e393-il) air foil for its efficence.

Version 1

this was my fist version of plane it was hard to print with the center of mass in the middle of the plane and it could not fly

Version 7

between version 1 and 6 litle tweaks were made such as making the wings longer moving the center of mass foward and moving the tail foward as well. then in version 7 i made it fully modular and made the rudder and elvators move able.

Version 15

from version 7 to 14 i made more small changes such as moving the tail foward more and pushing the center of mass foward more. i also remove some material off of the modular lock things this made it easyer to assemble. in version 15 i shrunk the tail to move the center of mass under the wings and i made the rod that slid threw the tail thinner so its easy to put in i also used pla+ for this design so that it doesent snap when you throw it
