Introduction
This plane was designed to be a Piper Super Cub scale model with some slight modifications.
With standard tires it is a fun and simple trainer that looks awesome and performs well. If you try
out the optional landing gear then you can upgrade this plane into a multiversital super fun flier
that can tackle any flying environment. It is pictured with large (bush plane) tires upgrade below
and look forward to us releasing floats and skis as well.

Recommended Parts POWER YOUR PLANE
Since your are downloading and printing your plane you will need to purchase at least a battery,
motor and esc. Below is what we recommend for this airplane. You can use other battery, motor
and esc combinations since our provided motor mounts allow it but they should provide you with
close to the required thrust specification listed below. Often motors have thrust specs with
different prop/battery combinations so please refer to the manufacturer's specifications if you
are using a non-recommended motor:
Required Thrust: 1000 g
Maximum Motor Diameter: 36 mm

Printing Instructions PRINT YOUR PLANE
Once your files are downloaded from www.3d-flight.com you have two options for printing your plane:
METHOD1: Using the supplied Gcode prepared using Simplify3D
● Simply load the gcode into your printer in order to print with our specified settings.
● This is the fastest and easiest method for printing.
● Simplify3D does a really great job generating the tool path for the Gcode so parts come out great.
● Usually works with printers having a 250mm x 210mm x 200mm build volume and the origin at
the front left corner of the printbed. May work on larger printers.
METHOD2: Using Your Own Slicer to Prepare Your Own Gcode
● We recommend that you use this method because the your printer settings will be customized to
your printer.
● All STL files necessary to print the plane are included in your download.
● Slicer settings for Craftware, Cura and Simplify3D are included in your download.
● Simply use your slicer with the STL files and generate the Gcode for your printer
● Please note you do have to use an open source style printer. Printers like XYZ printing and
Zortrax will not give you the freedom to adjust settings needed.
Importing the settings into each of the slicers is easy. Look at our support page if you have any issues.
Edit the settings as needed to customize them to your printer. If you have issues adjusting the machine
settings in your slicer or with print quality issues please see our support page.

Printed Parts Weight List
When printing parts use the printer settings below for each part and make sure to print the
quantity needed so that you have the correct amount when you go to assemble. Try to get your
main part weights are within +10%/-15%; if the parts are too heavy the plane won't fly as
desired.
