Enjoy the fun together!
VL Pyörremyrsky is the first of new LW Planes
series designed for easy and cheap flying. The
build is simple even for a beginner. It’s very
low weight, easy assembly and fantastic flight
characteristics makes this model an ideal plane
for beginner RC pilots.
Very suitable for dads and kids. Children will learn
some modern building skills and technology and
most of all have fun. This is the reason, why every
dad should have a 3D printer at home.
This model has been completely designed with a
new LW PLA material by ColorFabb in mind.
Parts printed from this LW PLA are light, easily
sanded and glued together. This model requires
only about 220 g of this material, that means it’s a
very cheap build. In case of accident, parts can be
easily reprinted with just a filament cost.
We’ve been testing this material for half a year
before this plane was released... The material is
using an active foaming technology to achieve
lightweight, low density PLA parts. At around
230°C this material will start foaming, increasing
its volume by nearly 3 times.
All parts of this plane should be printed from LW-
PLA.
Possibly VL Pyörremyrsky can be printed from
normal PLA but the plane will be too heavy for
relaxed flying. Standard PLA printed model
therefore could not be recommended for
beginners. You should use heavyer battery also to
compensate Center of Gravity of the plane in this
case.
