- Page 4 General Aircraft Data The aircraft is a 3D printed UAV platform in a size that combines compactness and high flight performance. Talon 1400 is in the popular layout with single push propeller. The design focuses on optimizing flight performance as possible, accommodating large battery pack and additional equipment, and modularity.
- Page 5 CFD Analysis The geometry is designed to provide the best possible characteristics. Eppler E205 airfoil was selected. The shape of the wing and the V-tail stabilizers, as well as their mutual position and incline angles, were optimized to ensure high performance as well as longitudinal stability.

Page 12: Print Settings
Settings are prepared a standard 0.4mm nozzle. Download link is available on Flightory Blog. Infill in this profile is set to 6%. For this project I recommend changing it to 3% for most parts. - Page 13 Print Settings All parts are suitable for printing on any standard printer with a small working area. I printed all parts on a 200 x 200mm area. The settings are just a base that you can change and adjust as needed. The following pages will list my recommended infill settings for each part.
- Page 14 Parts Orientation Important thing is the correct orientation of the printed parts to avoid overhangs, and not have to use supports. Below is the recommended orientation of parts and infill settings. FUS 1 - 3% gyroid infill FUS 2 - 3% gyroid infill USER MANUAL...

Page 27: Fuselage Assembly
Fuselage assembly Prepare all fuselage segments. Before gluing, you can gently sand the surface of all elements, especially the gluing surfaces. It’s best to use thick CA glue. USER MANUAL... - Page 28 Fuselage assembly Prepare parts printed from PLA or other hard material. Take the BATTERY PAD and paste it in the designated place in the front of the fuselage. It’s best to use thick CA glue. Prepare parts printed from PLA or other hard material.
- Page 29 Fuselage assembly Now take M3 threaded inserts with an outer diameter of 5mm. Glue them into the designated places in the front part of the fuselage. You can use a slightly heated soldering iron for this. Then glue NOSE REINFORCEMENT printed from PLA or other hard material.
- Page 30 Hatches Prepare the front and middle hatch. Both require LOCK 1 LOCK 2. Assemble the locks by adding a small spring and paste them into the designated places. Glue locks into the hatches using CA, but carefully so that the glue does not spill and block the lock. It’s best to use thick CA glue.
- Page 31 V-TAIL servos It’s best to use HOT GLUE Now insert the V-tail servos into the designated places on the back of the fuselage. Micro servos of standard 9-12g weight will fit. Use a small amount of hot glue to secure them. USER MANUAL...
- Page 32 V-TAIL Take V tail parts. Glue them together and use 4mm carbon tube cut to 190mm for reinforcement. Use 20x30mm polyester hinges to assemble the rudder by gluing them into the prepared places. Secure them with a drop of thin CA glue. You can also use thin hinges made of other thin materials.
- Page 33 V-TAIL Glue the plastic horns into the designated places in the rudders. It is best to do it with thick CA glue. You can make the pushrods yourself using a thin wire and bend it into a Z shape, or use snaps or another pushrod mounting technique.

Page 34: Motor Mount
Motor mount Paste the M3 threaded inserts into the designed places. Then glue the firewall. Finally, screw the motor with M3 screws. The graphic shows the assembly of the 2830 motor. For the 4108 motor, the process looks exactly the same, only the firewall and tail are in slightly different shape. USER MANUAL... - Page 35 Nose mount Now you can mount the nose with short M3 screws. If you are using version with VTX, you can put your VTX on the "shelf" and cover it with NOSE VTX COVER and secure the antenna. USER MANUAL...

Page 36: Wings Assembly
Wings assembly Glue the wing segments together. Insert two 6mm carbon tubes cut to a length of 435mm. It’s not necessary to glue the tubes, just press them tightly into the designated holes. Also insert the M6 plastic screws and glue the ROOT WING. - Page 37 Wings assembly Now mount the servo. Servo bay is spacious and there is no specific position of the servo. You can glue it and secure with hot glue. Use the SERVO COVER part so that you place it in the right place and bring the servo arm outward.
- Page 38 Wings assembly Finally, paste the aileron horns and fix the pushrods the same way as for the V-Tail. You can bend the wire into a Z shape, or use snaps or other pushrod mounting technique. USER MANUAL...
- Page 39 Wings mount Prepare two 10mm carbon tubes cut to 530mm and insert them into the designated places in the fuselage. Insert the wings, then lead the servo cables to the center of the fuselage USER MANUAL...
- Page 40 Wings mount USE M6 NUTS Secure the M6 screws with nuts from inside the fuselage. You can use any M6 nuts that you can manage to screw on by hand. It is best to use plastic nuts that match the plastic screws because of the lower weight.

Page 41: Equipment Layout
Equipment layout The fuselage of the aircraft is very spacious. The front part of the fuselage will accommodate a very large battery even Li-Ion 4S6P 21Ah pack. The BATTERY PAD is designed so that Velcro straps can be inserted between the holes to tighten the battery. - Page 42 Finishing build The model is ready to fly. Before flying, take care of the correct balance, which is 65mm from the leading edge. Check the correct operation of the ailerons and rudders and the direction of propeller rotation. The takeoff is done by hand throw.
