Small Thunderbolt Glider Hand Launch
Lightweight hand throw glider (HTG)
Awesome little glider with bendy nose and the wing geometry of the iconic warbird of WWII, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt!
This one can glide very slowly. Be gentle to it and it will bring you lots of fun!
Includes full size version and a properly scaled down variant for smaller printers.
Print Settings Layer height: 0.1mm (works best) - 0.2mm Infill: 100% Outer Lines: Min 3
Placement: Glider is rotated 45° in z-axis so that the infill of the first layer goes along the wings. This gives some rigidity when bending the wings and stabilizers.
Preparations Bend wings slightly upwards Bend tail to a V shaped stabilizer Bend tail slightly upwards directly behind the wings.
Launch Grab between wings and tail as seen in the picture and throw gently
