Hi All,
Wanted to share my most recent 3D printed project.
1/10th scale Horten IX (Ho-229). This is the V2 which was the only powered version to fly, and has a different inlet shape compared to the more well known V3. Compared to many other RC Hortens, this does not require thrust tube extension to fly. Instead it uses a small fin on the underside of the fuselage.
Unsure about the flight characteristics, I decided to design it for 50mms and make the model smaller. Though now having flown this, I definitely want to make a larger 70mm version in the future. It has working drag rudders, and can take-off in ~150ft on pavement.
Uses the Freewing T-33 nose strut , and Su-35 retracts/struts for the mains. Flies on 4S 3700mAH for about 5 minutes mixed flying.
Wingspan: 1680mm
Length: 749mm
Wing Area:51.6 dm2
AUW: 2800g
I made the files available for others to download:
