This is my Flightboard Light – an ultracompact 3D printed Glider, made for beeing carried on your Backpack during Hiking or Biking Adventures.

Wingspan: 600mm

Takeoff Weight: 220g

Structure Weight: 140g

Wingload: 26g/dm²

CG: 38-40mm

Print all Parts with 0% Infill! 2 Bottom, 3 Toplayers, 230C (PLA), 0.25mm Layerheight, some overextrusion, 30% Fan. Deactivate Detect Thin walls! The Canopy has an integrated mechanism (Print in Place) so your Printer has to be calibrated well.

Fuselage and Canopy Parts should be printed with 4-5mm Brim for better adhesion, be sure to clean your Printbed properly!

A perfect levelled First Layer is important for a clean Finish!

This Plane was built with simplicity and budget in mind. Printing can be done on one Single Plate with a Standard Volume of 200x200x200 in one single 20hrs Print. For Assembling you just need your Electronics, some superglue, some CA Hinges and of course an hour of freetime.

Before Assembling please watch assembling Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFoW04zoZDE

It is important not to glue the Stab together with the wing Halfs as the Glue will dry to fast to align them right. Also don´t use any other glue than CA as the Stab could deform.

When glueing the Fuselage to the wings make sure to align it with center and put a good amount of glue on every single contact surface!
