Maiden Flight RC 3D Printed ICON A5 - Planeprint

I will take the 3D Printed Icon A5 out for a maiden flight. I had a problem with the motor and propeller setup I used. I will show how I fixed the problem and take it out for another flight.

Thank you so much for watching!

*These are the settings I used for my JGMaker Magic 3D Printer with White Overture PLA. These settings are not going to work with every printer, or every PLA. Printers have different length bodin tubes, and PLA’s have different melting points. These may not work exactly for you, but should give you a good base to start with if you have a similar size printer. Good luck!
