Description
I have designed and built a sport stick model that can be 3D printed. This model can be powered by a rubber band or by an 8.5mm x 20mm coreless electric motor and supercapacitor. The files include many optional nose pieces to adjust thrust and wing incidence. There are also multiple rear wing mounts to adjust the wing incidence. The model is printed using ABS material so that and parts that are glued together, acetone can be used to not add any glue weight to the airframe.
The model can be covered using Japanese tissue, grocery veggie bags, 0.25-0.5mil doculam, or other heat shrink mylar.
Here are links to flight videos:

A motor install/removal tool has been included in the files to safely press the motor in and out of the mounts. These motors can be fragile and this tool assists nicely.
