How to Build Eclipson Model C 3D Printed Bush Plane - LW-PLA

This is a 3D Printed Eclipson Model C. In this video I will show step by step how to assemble and paint this airplane. From roles of LW-PLA to full flying RC airplane. Links bellow to all materials and parts. During the assembly of this plane I made a mistake with the tail wheel assembly. The tail wire should not be glues to the lower rudder. There should be a bend right at the tail fitting STL part so that the impact of the tail wheel will be on the end of the fuselage and not on the rudder hinge. I will show the correct way of assembly on my Maiden flight video.

Thank you so much for watching!
