Posting here to see if anyone is interested in designing/printing these High Drag SnakeEyes with Operating Fins. I would like to have the Fins lock up when attached to the Rail and spring loaded open upon release. Either MK-82/MK-83 can be done. Prefer the larger MK-83's. I can provide limited assistance with the project if necessary. PM if you'd like to discuss this. A servo actuated Pylon mounted Weapon Release mechanism will need to be designed/printed as well. Thx

That would be one fiddly mechanism to make those drag panels open, but still lock fully closed at speed in flight...
Very thin walls to print too.
I'd think you want to make the drag panels from soda can. With the slider from machined aluminum on aluminum or CF tube.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

I've got this all figured out. Just need help from a crafty Feller who can 3DP up some Drag Panels (Fins), pin hinged at the rear and a Bomb body with some simple internals. Anyone interested can pm me to discuss. Thanks

Hey Y'all, back to the Phantom after our lil' trip. 3DP Nose Gear Door and 3DP Pilot/RIO Bodies with JHH helmets (I waited a couple of months for these guys, so I had to use 'em LOL) Cockpit almost there once I dirty it up a bit. Best, LB

Best, LB
Hmmmmm,... IndependenceDay or HappyHalloween .... with those 20,000 outstanding rivets .. Hahahaha
