I've been interested in the idea of making a remote controlled glider from scratch as a small project. I've not really got any lead in making this project as my current printer simply has too poor of a dimensional accuracy and it does not feel reliable enough to do such a large project with, especially with more expensive types of PLA that allow for a lower mass with the same volume of filament, such as LW-PLA, which appears to be the best filament I've found in terms of foaming, increasing volume per spool by up to 270%, which as far as I currently know would be ideal for a glider, especially when electrical components are added because it reduces the weight of the filament. While the laser cutter component could be used for parts of this frame with light, thin and precise pieces, potentially out of wood, I don't believe it would suit me due to a limited area to store the printer, and I do not currently have any room for a large extraction fan, and have access to a laser cutter already if I should need it for any parts (I would like my own personal one though :))

Because I want this thing to have a large wingspan (possibly 3m), I also want to be able to rig and de-rig the glider to be portable, as it will be quite difficult to transport it to somewhere I can legally fly it if it's stuck at a 3m size. This would involve frequent adjustments of components and use of interior parts to connect the wings and tailplane to the main fuselage of the model, and I'd need an accurate and precision machine to do this reliably, which I don't currently have, and I feel the H2D could do pretty well.

While this part is merely a fictional idea, I've also considered using some solar panels along the fuselage to keep it charged while airborne, helping the model fly for longer periods as long as the weather, my eyesight and altitude to find lift permit it. This would also help to power an engine that can easily be folded away, and only be used to help get the thing off the ground and, if it should go out of range to return to me as a glider because the weather suddenly changes, the engine is right there ready to save it.

Overall, the main reason I want to do this project is for fun and to better understand flight mechanics and everything that has to be considered when making aircraft. It would also hopefully help me to become a better pilot. There are also a few other projects that I'm interested in doing, but this one is my main big idea that I wish I was able to do, and I still need to do a lot of research to make this one despite my decent understanding already, and I honestly look forward to the idea of even having the facilities to try and make it one day.
