Not sure how I missed this thread. Nice work OP... I used to fly and build model planes back in the day using gas engines. Compared to 3d printing, that was the stone age. I looked awhile back on thingaverse for stl's, but didn't really find anything. This looks awesome. I just can't figure out if I should print yours or that Corsair. I still have my retracts from my crashed 1/4 scale p51

Electric seems like so little fuss compared to gas powered. Finally something useful to print

3dlabprint has a bunch of different printable plane stl's available, but you have to pay for them.

I don't know if they have anything 1/4 scale, but you might be able to scale stuff up. That would be a ton of printing lol.

CURA allows scaling the stl before slicing it, but you still have to fit the pieces in your printer's limitations.

Yeah, just about all slicers do. The other thing you need to worry about are electronics sizes for things like servos and firewalls. Those scale up as well.

A hot glue gun is a wonderful thing for "oops, need to fill that back in, a little".
