**SUMMARY:**
This plane was intended to be a high efficiency's slope soaring aircraft and because of such does not have mounts for a motor, but a conversion for one would not be to difficult to come up with if someone is interested in that. The idea behind it was to come up with a lighter way to manufacture 3D printed aircraft (as the existing ones on the market are remarkably heavy) and the logical way to do this is to reduce printed material. The final product (though still a bit heavy) should be within the acceptable wing loading for a slope soarer. Because of this the aircraft uses a traditional spar and rib technique. The plane was intended to use a V-tail system but that is an area that still needs some work and I will update if I get a chance to work on it. Otherwise someone would come up with a design themselves or maybe use balsa wood to make one.
The choice for the elliptical wing (besides looking awesome) was for efficiency sake as an elliptical wing has the lowest theo
