PROFILE P5_gyroid
You can find the description at

For the new PROFILE P5_gyroid it is essential to use Cura Version 5 or later, It will work with
older versions, but the weight of the parts will be higher and the printing time longer.
ble weight with high stability, it is necessary to print with only one wall line (Nozzle 0.4
mm). Decisive here is the adhesion between
the layers! To achieve this, you must print at
a much higher temperature than normal. As
a guideline, 230° C is a good starting point.
The parts-cooling fan should be set to 0% or
a maximum of 20%. Since not every printer
works the same, it may be necessary to make
small adjustments to these settings.
PROFILE P5_gyroid
It is essential for the necessary stability of the LW parts
printed with PROFILE_5 are as stable as possible.
Please use a test part to check the strength by fracture
tests. It must not break along the layer lines under any
circumstances! Also note that the printing temperature for
LW-PLA is as low as possible to obtain a wall thickness of
0.4 to 0.6 mm at a flow of 65%.
At too high temperatures, LW-PLA becomes brittle
and breaks more easily.
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any standard 3D printer is a very complex and 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!

Basic Information:
Gluing the parts printed with PROFILE P5
STEP 1 As a fi rst step, it is important to roughen and smooth the adhesive surfaces with sandpaper.
STEP 2 Insert the interconnects into the slots provided on one side.
STEP 3 Apply a lot of glue to the side with the interconnects. It is important that there is glue everywhere,
especially on the outside and inside of the wall surfaces, in order to achieve a perfect connection.
The interconnects only serve to align the parts to each other. It is better not to apply glue here,
otherwise it can happen that the glue suddenly hardens while the parts are being put together and
stops the process.
Use medium viscosity CA glue, thinner glue would run down the parts too easily.
After assembly, align the two parts exactly and wipe off the excess CA glue from the surface
with a cloth. Now spray with activator spray along the gluing surface and carefully press the parts
together.
STEP 4 Clean the glued areas slightly with a sharp-bladed cutter.
Installing the hinges – rudder/elevator/ailerons/fl aps
Spacer
Slots
First glue the TPU hinges into the aileron. Then put it on the wing and fold it
a little to the side and give a drop of thin liquid glue on each hinge! CA glue.
Push it all the way up against the wing, imprinted spacers provide the proper
spacing. Wait until the glue has completely coagulated in the slots of the hinges
(by capillary action). Now spray some activator spray on each hinge to cure the
CA glue. Repeat the process on the other side of the hinges.
much glue and test if each hinge holds well.

cables through the openings in the fuselage
and insert the two PLA plates into the slots in the
fuselage and wing.
To secure the wings, pull the handles of the tension belts
inward and hook them into the PLA holders. The tension belts
should normally be relaxed so that they do not overstretch.
Do not worry, if the tension belts are not hooked in, the canopy cannot
be closed. So you don‘t forget to secure the wings before the fl ight.

With a fl at brush and brown acrylic paint is very easy
to make a very lifelike painting. Do not take too dark

SETTINGS FOR FLYING
The SNOWY must be programmed like a flying wing (delta). This means that the ailerons also take over
the elevator function. Since the SNOWY requires the simultaneous use of aileron and rudder to initiate
the turn for optimum flight characteristics, we recommend that you also mix rudder to aileron function.
This means that with the aileron, the rudder also moves a little. We recommend 50 to 70 %. When the
rudder is actuated, only the rudder should be moved.
Setting the servo travel
With the recommended CG, the basic setting of the ailerons/elevators should be as shown here.
At full throttle, the EDF pulls up minimally. If this bothers you, you can mix in the ailerons/elevators:
The mixer must be linear.
Aileron/Elevator default setting in gliding:
EDF off
+ 2 mm up
These specifications are basic settings! If your SNOWY still pulls up at full throttle, check the CG or mix
the Ailerons a little more down or vice versa.
Deviating from this setting, this maximum travel must be set:
ELEVATOR up: 17 mm, down: 17 mm
Aileron/Elevator default setting AT FULL THROTTLE:
Full Throttle
1 mm up

propellers, chargers, rechargeable batteries, etc.) carefully.
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.
