6.30.24 update! One of my great and talented customers / test pilots Thomas Heuer loved the Dagger 1 so much he developed a thrust vector system that uses the same two servos for the elevons and nothing else! just print the parts and assemble it. It doesnt need to be put on a switch either!
This was a custom design I actually dreamed about one night. I combined an F22 with an SU-47. I kept the F22 vertical tails and also used the shape of the F22 full flying tails as the canards. This jet absolutely ROCKS! it flies better than anything ive purchased. And it absolutely does NOT need a gyro to fly well. You'll be shocked. Other than the SU-47, does anything look cooler? maybe the original F22 lol
This jet can be scaled up to any size you like. My designs dont use any special hardware. all glue together. you can scale it up to any size edf unit and at the very worst your servo pockets will be slightly large but it doesnt matter.

3D printing settings
like all my planes. I highly recommend active foaming LW PLA
3% grid or gyroid infill
1 wall
2 top 2 bottom layers
once you have your own printer dialed for LW pla my prints will all go very easy.
