Description

The Kougar Mark III is based off of SIG MFG. Mark II. There are several additions to the Mark III, 1 - it is 3D printed, 2 - Battery Hatch, 3 - Plug-in Wings, 4 - Retractable landing gear.

The plane is printed from ABS, but I am sure it can be printed from other filaments. The files are designed to fit on a 300 x 300 x 400mm size bed. I have a Artillery Sidewinder x1 printer, equivalent to a Creality CR-10, A mid size printer. The total print time for this plane is around 200 hours.Since most parts are joined with Carbon Fiber, there are no alignment tabs on the parts. the parts can be resized to fit smaller printers.

I have printed 2 models of this aircraft, the first one flew for a short period, The second one has several flights on it. The second one had many changes to the tail and fuselage. The biggest difference on the second model was I decided to make a
Balsa Horizontal Stab and Elevator to reduce tail weight.

Although I have not tried this, the Tail can be printed from LW-PLA and that would save almost half the weight of a ABS or PLA tail.
