An RC airplane fully designed by students and 3D-printed by parts at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. This project has been ongoing for nearly four years, with students coming and going, but it has finally taken its first flight.
This video features the finished airplane during ground and flight testing.
Many thanks to all of the students in the previous years who contributed to this project.
THE MIG MAIDENED VERY WELL IN THE GUSTING 15 MPH WIND BUT DUE TO THE BRITTLE NATURE OF THE PLASTIC SHE SIMPLY BROKE UP ON THE SLIGHTLY HARD LANDING - PITY AS THERE IS POTENTIAL THERE !
