Join our Discord server Section 1: Model Information Tornado V2 represents the first release of a new generation of Titan Dynamics aircraft. Built with a focus on toolless assembly and usability, the Tornado V2 features removable wings with telescoping spars and wing connectors that make field assembly a breeze, no longer requiring fussing with wiring in the fuselage.

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 Colorfabb HT-LWPLA. While it can be troublesome to initially tune, if Colorfabb’s guide is followed, the resulting parts are light, strong, and temperature resistant 2.

We recommend using the latest version of OrcaSlicer for your prints. Bambu Studio, Prusaslicer, and others don’t have key parameters that increase success when printing...

Titan Dynamics Titan Dynamics Webpage Visit our Facebook page Join our Discord server 4.3: Tuning “XY Hole Expansion” It is very important to check the fitment of the carbon rods in their holes on the first parts you print. 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.
Titan Dynamics Titan Dynamics Webpage Visit our Facebook page Join our Discord server Print your first part with carbon spar hole and check fitment, if it is too tight increase the XY Hole Expansion setting in the “Quality” then “Precision” section in OrcaSlicer (or your slicer’s similar setting).

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.
