Eclipson Pathfinder

Still working on the PlanePrint OV10 Bronco but may as well start printing another.

This Twin Prop V-Tail is from another good 3D Print plane company... Eclipson.  I'm not as enamoured with their designs because they use a Spiral Vase mode to produce a single wall lightweight print.  The issue is that it's a bit too delicate.  Planeprint uses a single wall but with a 6% gyroid infill which approximates a balsa feel and strength.  But, I couldn't pass up on this Twin.  It's actually an FPV platform and that's not for me but the twin props and v-tail sure look nice.  1800mm wingspan, 2 x2212 1250Kv Sunnysky motors, hand launch.  It's big and it's pretty and it's printing.

Love the V-tail design!

Love the V-tail design!

Agreed, if it were not for the twin engines and v-tail I probably wouldn't bother.  Most Eclipson planes have a very similar fuselage and wing design, so they're not that interesting after the first one or two.  But who can pass up a v-tail?!
