Hornet has been specially sculpted in CFD, and obsessively lightened while maintaining great structural rigidity.
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. If you aren’t able to purchase...

A part printed at 3% gyroid is comparable weight to the same part printed at 7% cubic subdivision. Polycarbonate, PETG or other high-temp filament should be used for the motor mounts and wing bay covers.

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

The spar layout for Hornet is as depicted below. None of the spars need to be glued in, they will all be retained by the printed parts.

Join our Discord server Section 6: Final Setup & Tuning Tips • Titan Dynamics strongly recommends the use of Arduplane for all our models. If you encounter an issue in flight, the data logs Ardupilot creates are invaluable for finding the root cause of any issue and increasing future chances of success.
