I saw this Plane on http://www.Parkjets.com and Knew I have to build it.. http://www.parkjets.com/x-41.html

You can see how T3CHDAD worked the the canard fin by going to the Rcgroups build log here. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=779331

I have not yet printed this out But will in the near future

I have not posted the Gcode yet as I use a 1/16 bit.
The 28" one I knocked the front off to fit it all onto one sheet.


There is a new verison the X-42 Deltastorm II (Vectored Thrust)... 2 motors wow

Cheers

Reading Through the build log on Rcgroups CG of original plan's seemes to far rearward and should be moved 1/4" fwd
I came across a interesting post and will quote it here.

Good deal Glen thanks man,
It's weird that he has the 20" version too
I painted mine and the paint ate the foam and turned it into what looks a lot like a lava rock! :mrgreen:
Oh well back to the printer to cut another..I'm going to make this one bigger this time

Thanks go out to T3chDad and ET for posting this on the Phlatforum. Its really a cool plane!

 

Gotta be careful on paint selection. The Krylon H2O Latex in a can wont harm the foam.
Walmart sometimes has it, and I read somewhere Michaels craft store might have it too.

 

firetrappe,
Thanks man I had no idea it went on for that long! man I do get caught up in projects
I love the way the ustream put no limit on your recording length so I just hit record and go at it. Thanks for the complement and I will do my best to try and add more(shorter) tutorials/builds in the future.

Jnida63,
I agree this would look sweet as and EDF plane!

 

From the Rcgroups Build log I saw this. I like how the duct is clear

Yabeweb,
There are some good photos on how and what some people have used building this plane on Rcgroups Tc3hdad's build log of the x-41 deltastorm http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=779331
The first post also has the motor size that was used and other stats.

One of your best resource is for building with Foam is the Scratchbuilt section in RcGroups

Jnida63,
Nice looking model!
That looks really sharp

I'm not sure what pieces that you mean. What size did you cut out 30", 20", or Krams micro? :mrgreen: The wing slips into the fuse. Then rotate the top pieces as I think they go only one way.

Hope this helps. :ugeek:

I think the problem is. The tabs on the fuse have to be cut to let the wing slide in. I know on my cut file it has been done but I'm not sure if Krams is that way?
Ok I checked krams file and you have to cut it out your self here.
yes the tabs for the fins are too long" after checking krams file you can trim the back of them so they fit. The su files on the first post work fine. Both versions 20" and 30" su planes are on the single skp file. I like to make my own CNC files because I use a 1/16" bit. If you want me to send you a CNC file I will. please PM me with your bit size so I can work it up
