I would also like to test the file for nose / mast bracket.
I like it very much.
I also believe in advantages if the rear wing does not run in the drag vortices of the front wing.
Greetings Frank
Hello Visor360
I am currently on the footprints of the parts, can you tell me how to place part No. 8 of the fuselage for printing and if i need supports when printing , thank you
Hi !
I always design the parts to never use supports (for better results)
First position the part like this :
Then click on “lay flat”:
You should always print each side of the mold parts together for better accuracy (and it’s faster) :
Right click on the part and click on “multiply selected model”
Number of copies : 1
Use the mirror feature
super thank you for your answer
Hello. Sorry but I only saw your offer now. Is your offer still available?
Yes it’s fine, it’s still available!
Has any built and tested the mast here? I built my own carbon mast and underestimated the amount of carbon fiber it needed to take the flex out of it. Even a very small amount of flex made it virtually unrideble until I went back and added more. Curious how this one performs

Let me get back to you, have you had time to change the angle of the mast? I have more than this part to print!
Thank you
Hi philippe, I started to work on it last week but I didn’t have time to finish it (I had to continue working on other stuff). I’ll try to finish it (and upload it) tomorrow morning hopefully.

It’s updated, if you have any problem with the files let me know!

Excellent work, thank you for your speed, good luck for the future
Thanks Philippe! I’m working on adding a course to teach how to design a mold using fusion 360. I downloaded the software yesterday to try it, it’s a little bit limited but it’s free for personal use so I won’t complain haha
The idea is that you will be able to design your own wings, mast, fuselage, etc. and make a mold for these parts using Fusion360.

it’s great, congratulations again, good luck for the future I look forward to the rest
it’s made for a direct drive, the diameter is 70mm. Because the direct drives have different diameters and different ways to fix it to the fuselage, I will make a connector box (to 3d print) for each (with the diameter of the motor)
Hello
I started to do the FOIL and by examining the rearwing I realized that there was a connection problem, do I need another part to make the connection, photos in attachments, to the thank you
Hi Philippe,
I’ve sent an update to everyone. it’s a mistake, the holes are too far apart. Like I said in the update each build is different so if you think you need to change something to make your foil stronger or more stable feel free.
This 3d printed tool can help to position the holes more accurately but if you want to position the holes another way it’s fine. You can also use fusion360 to change the position of the holes (or add more holes) on this part.
I’m not sure what happened with the large gap on the second picture, you should not have this problem.
If you still have this gap send me a message. Nice job making the wing ! Just a little bit of sanding and polishing and it will look great!
thank you for your answer, I understood the gap on my wing, I probably filled too much fiber and by assembling the two parts I distort the profile, I will start an impression again and make it more stable

Hi… could you make a motor mount / fuselage for the Flipsky 65161? I just joined - $12 well spent.

Hi Noahark,
Sorry I’ve been away for a while…
I don’t have the drawings of this motor so it will be hard to make a perfect model. But if you have the dimensions I could give it a try!
It will also depend on how you will build your mast (hollow or not, etc.). And if you want to make this “connection” between the mast and the motor waterproof or not.
Do you know how to use Fusion360 ? (the best solution would be to be able to design it by yourself so you could make changes to the model if needed)
