My eagle 🦅 has landed...

Well I thought the community might like to see this... I'm really pleased as the printer is really starting to fulfill its intended purpose!

Spent the day sanding seams and getting ready for a coat of fibreglass

Impressive.
Is it going to be some sort of R/C "plane"?
Looks like ailerons under the wings

@owend yes it's a 150% scaled up Planeprint eagle. Hope to get it flying in the next few weeks.

I have a 2.4m Piper Cub kit laying around for two years. Classic Balsa and Plywood. Your post inspired me to get on with the build.
Thanks for posting!

@o_lampe good luck with your build! This is the largest model I've ever built so breaking new ground in many ways!

I am jealous of that print!

@cncmodeller, I don't know if this is relevant to your model but the new Prusa slicer is supposed to have a special mode for slicing RC airplanes models.
