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
![Screenshot 2023-09-29 065733.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FC6/X34T/LN36RASU/FC6X34TLN36RASU.jpg&filename=Screenshot 2023-09-29 065733.jpg)

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
![Screenshot 2023-09-29 070349.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FNH/92RL/LN36RB6N/FNH92RLLN36RB6N.jpg&filename=Screenshot 2023-09-29 070349.jpg)
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
![Screenshot 2023-09-29 070416.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F1H/I0WH/LN36RBYG/F1HI0WHLN36RBYG.jpg&filename=Screenshot 2023-09-29 070416.jpg)
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

after many hours of hard work i created this my first aircarft.
