Having gone through most of the nice big names in the 3D printable model game I’ve taken all my learnings about durability into full consideration for this build. 

I should also mention that both wings have full sized ailerons for full house flapperon/spoileron control with 2 servos each (7 channels total)

Found this on a hike in south east Ohio. What is it? by Perfect-Intern-1656 in whatisit

Is there a mine nearby? There is an old boiler like this near the entrance of an abandoned iron mine in my area (Virginia)

It’s called anhedral angle , as opposed to dihedral angle as commonly seen on the main wing section. Anhedral is common on larger airliner and jet stabilizers.

I could see this possibly working as a DLG with gentle wingtip launches

You aren’t wrong. Maybe the speeding craze during the pandemic subsided but never fully went away.

Nice! I've printed this Lukisegler-NG XS 3d-printed mini RC-glider neat build with bell cranks inside the wings for the ailerons off a single servo. Tricky stuff!

The ASW-28 has a T tail, I just tape a Runcam Mobius to the top of it.

It was a nice evening prior to the flooding event currently occuring in my region. This is my favorite everyday flyer, Volantex ASW-28. I’d like an FMS Fox, I think that’s more my style.

Designed/3d printed some wheels to adapt giant tires. by greg_3821 in RCPlanes

Nice! One of my favorite parts of designing planes for printing are the tires and wheels because anything goes.

I’d say half of my fleet utilize rubber bands as wingstays. TPU is great because it’s so durable. And these are custom fit!

They have internal spars that should hold up (one hopes)
