I've actually always liked this plane.

The Pucara motor mount is a structure built of 5 pieces and then glued onto the wing and gear support.
It's then covered with 6 parts to form a nacelle. 
This build is less sophisticated than other printed planes.  PlanePrint designs in a ton of guides and alignment parts to ensure a good fit.  Only CA is needed for a PlanePrint plane.  This plane has no alignment parts at all... so CA is out of the question.  5 min epoxy allows just the right amount of time for adjustment.
