The pocket rocket was originally designed to be a super easy to print and really easy to assemble. It uses a 50 mm EDF from X fly. The design is extremely efficient and easy to fly. I designed a self leveling and stabilizing wing. The canopy can be friction fit or you can add magnets if you choose there are only 15 pieces to print the build plate volume is 220 x 2 20 x 220. I was able to print this in two build plates.
The jet is designed around this fan https://amzn.to/3I8xnwc
I have also uploaded a printable nacelle that fits the xfly 50mm. The printable nacelle should be glued into the plane with the front of the nacelle pointing as low as possible in the plane. Meaning the fan face should be facing perpendicular to the CG. I have a photo of the printed nacelle stick out in the rear
The jet is very compact. It uses a 1300 to 1800 4 cell battery. I’ve gotten five minute flight times with an 1800. It has a 24 inch wingspan and is 24 inches long. The whole plane only weighs 600 g with a 1300 battery!
I labeled the elevon and wing tip with an “L” to avoid any confusion. I also added CG bumps on the bottom of the wing
