Product Description

Future of flying – Print your own plane

Piper J-3 Cub is the next of new LW Planes series designed for easy and cheap flying. The build is simple even for a beginner. It’s very low weight, easy assembly and fantastic flight characteristics makes this model an ideal plane for beginner RC pilots.

Very suitable for dads and kids. Children will learn some modern building skills and technology and most of all have fun. This is the reason, why every dad should have a 3D printer at home.

This model has been completely designed with the new PolyLight LW-PLA material in mind.

Parts printed from this LW-PLA are light, easily sanded and glued together. This model requires only about 300g of this material, that means it’s a very cheap build. In case of accident, parts can be easily reprinted with just a filament cost.

We’ve been testing this material for a years before this plane was released… The material is using an active foaming technology to achieve lightweight, low density PLA parts. At around 230°C this material will start foaming, increasing its volume by nearly 3 times.

Almost all parts of this plane should be printed from LW-PLA (some specific parts needs PLA or PETg).

 

 

Both the wing and fuselage features extensive hitech 3d structural reinforcement, making the model very rigid, yet maintaining lightweight airframe and exact airfoil, even it is made only from plastic. This perfect and exact 3d structure is possible thanks to additive 3dprinting technology only.

Easy to assemble, without need of any extra tool or hardware. Just glue printed parts together. The rest of the assembly is very easy. Simply add brushless motor, ESC, servos and radio system. Don´t worry, a detailed step by step PDF/VIDEO is for download at the top of this site.
