The development of a complex, airworthy RC ﬂight model to express on any standard 3D printer is a very extensive process. Therefore, we appeal to your fairness

not to forward the STL data you have acquired to third parties.

Thank you for your understanding and have fun with your PLANEPRINT MODEL!

Printing the parts – Printing proﬁles

This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading the latest version from our website before building.

To print all PLANEPRINT models you need to set some basic proﬁles in Cura (If you use another slicer, please set the same parameters).

You can ﬁnd the description at www.planeprint.com/print

For this model you need the following proﬁles:

Aileron assembly

The hinges are simply made with adhesive tape. To ensure that the tape holds well, you should coat the gluing area (LW PLA) with UHU (or UHU POR) beforehand. Once the adhesive has dried, stick the tape ﬁ rst to the wing and then to the aileron. Leave a small gap so that the

ailerons can be moved easily.

Tape

P1_Parts_halo.stl

Steel wire Ø0.8*66.4mm

Screw the servo brackets to the servo and position the servo in the wing as shown here. The servo arm must be at 90° to the wire at zero position. When the position is correct, carefully let some CA glue run to the servo brackets without touching the servo or the wire. Then carefully unscrew the servo and glue the brackets ﬁ rmly in place.

The servo must not protrude over the wing!

The servo must be as close as possible to the underside of the wing.

Wing fastening

Carbon tube Ø5*250mm

Insert the TPU mount into the fuselage and the wings too. Then drill the two 1.5 mm holes in the carbon tubes. Be careful not to split them! Screw in the sheet metal screws very carefully the ﬁ rst time so as not to damage the carbon tube.

TIP You can glue a piece of the 3 mm carbon rod into the 5 mm

carbon tube before drilling, this variant is much more durable.

P4_Wing mount_halo.stl

To mount the wings, you can always leave the TPU mount ﬁ xed on a wing.

You can store spare

screws here.

RC components (glider version)

Lead Battery Receiver

Center of Gravity (CG)

The aircraft must balance on these points – see the markings on the wing.

For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, the CG should be 50 mm behind the leading edge and then carefully moved backwards.

NOTE The range of optimum CG is particularly small with a ﬂ ying wing

and you have to ﬁ nd the most comfortable CG for yourself in ﬂ ight. The further forward it is, the easier the model is to ﬂ y, the further back the performance is greatest.

Do not forget to check if the wings are exactly in ballance in the roll axis. If one wing is heavier, correct this with a small weight on the wingtip.

NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 14 YEARS. THIS IS NOT A TOY!

The STL data (or data processed from it, such as G codes) must never be passed on to third parties!

The purchase of the STL does not authorize the production of models for third parties.

By using the download data, an RC model airplane, called „model“ for short, can be manufactured using a 3D printer. As a user of this model, only you are responsible for safe operation that does not endanger you or others, or that does not damage the model or property of others.

PLANEPRINT.com assumes no responsibility for damage to persons and property caused by pressure, transport or use of the product. Filaments, printing supplies, hardware or consumables that can not be used after faulty 3D printing will not be replaced by PLANEPRINT.com in any way.

When operating, always keep a safe distance from your model in all directions to avoid collisions and injuries.

This model is controlled by a radio signal. Radio signals can be disturbed from outside without being able to inﬂuence it. Interference can lead to a temporary loss of control.

Always operate your model on open terrains, far from cars, trafﬁc and people.

Keep all chemicals, small parts and electrical components out of the reach of children.

Avoid water contact with all components that are not specially designed and protected. Moisture damages the electronics.

Never take an item of the model or accessory in your mouth as this can lead to severe injuries or even death.

Never operate your model with low batteries in the transmitter or model.

Always keep the model in view and under control. Use only fully charged batteries.

Always keep the transmitter switched on when the model is switched on.

Always remove the battery before disassembling the model.

Keep moving parts clean and dry at all times.

Always allow the parts to cool before touching them.

Always remove the battery after use.

Make sure that the Failsafe is properly set before the ﬂight.

Always follow the instructions and warnings for this product and any optional accessories (servos, receivers, motors, propellers, chargers, rechargeable batteries, etc.) carefully.

We develop our models to the best of our knowledge and belief.

We accept no liability for consequential damage and injuries

caused by improper use or incorrectly printed parts. Please be

careful when handling motors, batteries and propellers and

only move your model with insurance and in approved places!

Never operate the model with damaged wiring.

Never touch moving parts.
