The Titan Hawk is a 1m wingspan twin-boom focused on maximizing efficiency. Boasting a range of 153km with flight time of 2h40m (on its maiden), the Hawk punches well above its weight. The feel on the sticks is akin to a much larger aircraft with excellent wind resistance and handling like it’s on rails.

The values predicted are not perfect, and values like efficiency can vary greatly based on the choice of motor and propeller, among many other factors.

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.

Because everyone may be using different printers, materials and slicer settings, it is not possible to provide the models with a slicing profile and hole size that will work for everyone.

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

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.
