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!

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?!
Wings done, motors installed, counter rotating props. Even the prop adapter screws are right and left handed.
Fuselage
Wing mount, wheel, tail, servos and battery tray in.
