This is Version 1 of my 3D-printed hand-launch glider, designed in Onshape. It’s a simple, lightweight plane meant for fun tosses indoors or outdoors.
Design details
Wingspan: ~400 mm
Fuselage length: ~250 mm
Tailplane: ~120 mm
Printed in PLA with thin walls for low weight
Issues noticed (V1)
Flies straight but tends to be too nose-heavy, which makes the glide short.
Adding a bit of weight to the tail helps balance.
V2 will aim for better weight distribution.
Printing tips
Print in PLA with 0% infill, 1–2 walls, 2 top/bottom layers.
Keep it light – under 70 g total.
If you cut into parts, glue with CA glue or epoxy.
Assembly
Glue fuselage pieces together.
Reinforce wing joints with a bamboo skewer or carbon rod.
Future improvements
Adjust center of gravity
Add dihedral for stability
Experiment with LW-PLA for lighter flight
