Section 1: Model Information Introducing the Titan Comet, a 1.46m wingspan twin tractor UAV built for the ultimate FPV and mapping experience. The Comet is ultra-efficient and can fly for up to 4.5 hours and 330km on one charge. Incredible attention to detail has gone into making Comet lightweight yet structurally rigid.
Section 4: 3D printing 4.1: Things to know before you start printing. 1. Titan Dynamics strongly recommends using Polymaker Polylite prefoamed LWPLA for the best results. This filament is much easier to tune your printer for and has less stringing than active foaming filaments.

Re-open any holes the tab may have filled on the bottom of the print.

The two wing spars that intersect the fuselage are the joiners for the wings and the fuselage and can be removed completely from the fuselage and wing during transport.

Section 6: Final Setup & Tuning Tips • Titan Dynamics strongly recommends the use of Arduplane for all our models. • Give all control surfaces +- 35 degrees or more throw. The Comet has extremely effective flaperons, and should be configured as such in Ardupilot.
