On a hunt for a durable and realistic glider “briefing model” for pre-lesson ground teaching. I had a thought that a 3D printed one might be a good way to go. Has anyone tried printing a glider or have a file?

Thanks!

I’d also like to get one of these. Ideally with a stick out of the tail to hold and show flight attitudes

Hi Warwick,

After seeing your post today, I saw the video in the link below pop-up in my YouTube feed.  It's not what you're looking for, but it's pretty cool.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

We have a guy in our club (Valley Soaring in NY) that printed a couple 2-33's for that purpose. I can see if would post a link here.

Have him post the data on thingiverse.

I have a source that printed and painted an SGS 1-35C for me, and a Grob 104 and Libelle for me to use as gifts. I'll check to see if he has a 2-33A or 2-33B.
A PA-25 and L-19 model would be GREAT!

A friend of mine created laser cut models of Pawnee and K21s using 1/4" wood. If there is interest, I doubt he would mind having the files posted online.

Hi,

The Pure Planes laser cut model kits I sell work well for 'briefing models".

I just found this. He has a bunch of different models. Its not a free file, but pretty cheap. Perhaps too detailed for what I need, but I might give it a shot.
