MODEL Y
Eclipson Model Y is a radio control airplane specifically designed to be printed. Thanks to his high wing configuration the airplane is very stable. His elliptical wing reduces wing tip vortex, therefore reduces induce drag and increases flying time. It has been designed with flaperons, the same aerodynamic surface is used as flaps and ailerons. We provide two different main landing gears solutions, one 3D printed and other mixed with steel rods and sponge wheels, the first is cheaper and the second stronger, use the one that you prefer. Nose landing gear is steerable and with suspension totally 3D printed, you will only need a rubber band, also free FPV kit for this plane is available.
