Here is the bee stand hot off the printer. The pins work but are fragile. Printing them out of PETG vs PLA should make them better and not have the tabs break off.

With them being plastic they are safe to use on those engines you don’t want to scratch the tank on.

Very nice Jason here is a link to free share Cox reed power or E power.
If you wanted to print it what would you use to withstand hot summer days?

All the printed planes that I’ve seen use PLA for rigidity. It will melt if left in your car on a hot day. Even ABS will deform. ABS and PETG are too flexible.

Here are more RC models available to print. Plans aren’t free though.

Yes that's what I figured, perhaps paint them white with UV resistant spray on paint to help protect or fly
them mornings and evenings lol. Guess I will stick to good ole wood.
