Zenith
The Zenith is a fixed-wing aircraft made using 100% additive manufacturing, with a variety of materials. It has a wingspan of 80 centimeters, and a fuselage length of 40 centimeters. The Mk.I of the design does NOT include hinges or control surfaces; you will have to cut those yourself. You must cut spaces for the servos as well. The Mk.I design is not recommended, as it is merely a proof of concept. The Mk.II will be released fairly soon, and will be aerodynamically cleaner with in-built hinges as well as servo slots. Lighter design and materials will be used. It will most likely include space for first-person view setups, as this is of interest to Toad Aeronautics and its customers. Remixes and different versions are welcome! As all files are open-source, they will be linked below. Feel free to print, and make changes on your own copy. Just note that waiting for the maiden voyage of the Mk.II version is desirable, as then one may view the flight setup and use that for reference (assuming the Mk.II version succeeds).
The Zenith Mk.1 held its maiden voyage some time ago. It seemed to "fly" for a moment, however the center of mass was too far aft, leading to its demise. The aircraft flew in a somewhat stable trajectory for a moment, then due to excessive elevator use it flew inverted, followed by a crash. The electronics were unharmed, and will be utilized for the Mk.II version. The airframe sustained irreparable damage. A less dense version of polylactic acid was utilized for the airframe. The sections were held together with epoxy and cyanoacrylate adhesive. Its weight was over 1,000 grams, far heavier than any aircraft Toad Aeronautics had previously handled. Its wingspan was only 80cm, and increasing it would only add more weight.
