How to Make a Beginner 3D Printed RC Trainer Plane (PLA, No LW-PLA!) #rcplane #howto

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Ready to get into the exciting world of RC planes? This is the perfect project for you! In this video, I'll walk you through building a 3D-printed trainer RC plane that's designed specifically for beginners. The best part? It's printed entirely with regular PLA filament, so you don't have to deal with the tricky temperature and flow rate calibrations that come with lightweight PLA.

This model is super easy to print. Just slice the STL files and you're good to go! For the best results, I highly recommend reading the user guide—it's full of helpful tips from setting up your printer to your first successful maiden flight.

I printed my model at a 125% scale, but this design is fully scalable up to a massive 1600mm wingspan! For more details on how to scale the model, check out the guide here: [https://craycle.com/how-to-scale-3d-printed-planes/]
