TROY MCMILLAN RC Boeing 727-200
Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots
Overview
Two versions are available, a freighter version without windows and a passenger version with windows. This plane can be printed in regular PLA and LW-PLA. Decals stick great on regular PLA, but if you go with LW-PLA I would suggest hand-painting.
This plane has been designed to print in Vase Mode, where all of the pieces can be printed out using the same print setting. There are no infill or top/bottom layers needed. This is THE easiest plane to print on the market. I added a slotted key in each fuselage piece which makes for an easy to align and assemble fuselage section. The servo locations are designed to fit any brand of 9g servo.
There are two flap designs included in this build. You can print the wing out as a regular wing with a flaps-up configuration. Or you can print out the regular wing and remove the flaps, as shown in the build video, and replace them with the takeoff-flaps. This is a cool feature that allows you to have flaps without adding weight, and also adds a great scale look to the wing.
Files for a landing gear are also included , but it can also be flown as a hand-launch plane. The key feature I wanted to improve on, is having no servo arm under the wing for belly-landing. I designed an internal servo mount that uses a 3mm carbon fiber rod attached to the end of a servo to control the aileron.
