Andrew Fernie is on a distinguished road
Flew it on Thursday - it was very nice. Smooth and plenty of power. I highly recommend it for a first 3D printed plane. Easy to print and assemble.

Stalled on takeoff on the second flight and ended up with a fair bit of blue and yellow confetti littering the snow. However, I really do like it, so number 2 is about half way printed now.

My printer has a 300x300x400 volume, so bigger than the size most 3D printed planes are designed for. I have merged a number of parts into single models to ease the printing and assembly. Fuselage now in three models rather than six, and merged four of the wing models into one.
