RC Dusty Crophopper by aathish28

Things you need apart from the 3d model:
-40 A ESC
-860-1080KV brushless motor
-A Transmitter and a Receiver
-A hot glue gun
-Penknife and a used credit card to let your child cut stuff
-4 servos
-Packing tape for coloring the plane
-Pushrods, preferably 1.2 mm welding steel rods
-Pliers
It is my first model that actually works. An RC Dusty Crophopper model, from the movie Planes, that actually flies. This model was rendered with reference to the FT Duster. But it is not the exact same of course. There is a whole STL model file that can be sliced to your preference. If the file requires repairing, repair the file and then the different parts such as the canopy and the body and the wings will come apart. The wings follow the aerodynamical rules and thus the only thing that stops you from flying this beast is not printing it. :)
For those kind souls that wanna help me get my first printer? Paypal email : aathish282004@gmail.com
Your help really helps me and it pushes me to make better models. Thank you.
Instructions for assembling the plane:
Bend the welding wire to a Z-bend and then insert it into the servo and servo horns. There is a hole for the servos to be glued into the wing, but for the rudder and elevator, you might need to make your own holes and glue the servos into the fuselage.
