Parts Catalog - Mini Talon

Mark Qvale - June, 2016

Ready for printing!

Introduction

This article is a collection of 3D print parts specifically designed to fit the X-UAV Mini Talon. These have all been printed and most have been flight tested and even a few - crash tested :).

Many of the parts found here are also on my Thingiverse pages although since all parts are published here first, this is where you will find the most current versions. As on Thingiverse, everything found here is protected by Copyright and licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license.

Canopy's and Set-ups

I have redone the feature set that makes up this 3D model smoothing out the surface and profile and changing the NACA style vent to side air scoop type vents. It prints more cleanly now and I have added a version which will support either the Geared Pan & Tilt or the 390deg Pan & Tilt. Below you will find the latest versions of this fun design with downloads for all the printable STL files.

NOTE: I have compiled a simple list of the different canopy styles along with their compatible mounts which can be found on the page - Canopy and Mounts Compatibility

Plain Canopy

If you want to simply cover the nose for a more appealing look or need something to fit to your own structure this may be the part you want. The two FPV camera mounts are optional.

Brushless Roll Attachment

This is a new addition to the line-up. The canopy has an extra large cut-out so that a brushless gimbal roll attachment can be utilized with some protection for additional electronics like controller, cam switch, etc. The version shown here uses a small 22mm OD motor, a Multistar 1807/340kv.

Roll attachment shown with an early prototype canopy and the Mobius Mini

This really is designed for the Mobius Mini but a larger camera could be used with a slightly larger Gimbal motor such as a 2208-80t/90kv unit. Some canopy trimming may have to be done if an alternate motor is used.

Plain Decks

This section has a few "Plain" decks. These are generally not compatible with any of the canopies and are full coverage decks which cover all the foam on the front of the fuselage.

Decks for GWS, PnT or HD

If all you need is a simple deck to mount the GWS S125-1T, 360 degree servo, this is it. This deck puts the servo forward so a Pan and Tilt can look straight down over the nose. Additionally, if you want to add the heavy duty bearing plate and servo coupler, the bosses are here and ready to be tapped to M3 for the bearing plate stand-offs.

NOTE: This is a full coverage deck and is not compatible with any of the canopies.

Skid Plates

Front Skids

If you want the best fore and aft skid protection then look no further! These skids have been tested 100's of times on some of the worst landing surfaces you could imagine and they do the job. There are two versions of the front skid, one wide, one narrow. The wide, 2 piece, skid does a better job in cut shale or other super abrasive surfaces, the narrow version is lighter and printable as a single piece.

	52214	Lightweight Front skid	12.2g	52214.STL

Rear Skid

New version released - 5 May, 2017

This skid does an amazing job of keeping the rear lower fin intact and straight.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52104	Rear skid v3	52104.STL
	52105	Rear skid v6	52105.STL

Install

Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to fasten skid pieces in place.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for these parts. They will fit and work excellently on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed. The rear skid can be printed right-side up or down, both with supports. It will look best printed down-side up but this is difficult to print for some.

Gear Decks

Below are two gear decks for mounting electronics in the fuselage. The first "Main Gear Deck" bolts into the center structure and is a great place to mount a flight controller and other bits. The second "Rear Gear Deck" sits just behind the wood center structure and is a great place to mount an RX, GPS puck or ESC.

Main Gear Deck

Having a bolt-in gear deck is a really nice feature in any build. Many have re-designed the entire wood structure but I find this to be redundant, unnecessary work as the wood structure is quite good, stronger than PLA or ABS of the same dimensions and very easy to work with.

This gear deck then uses four threaded clips which glue nicely to the wood structure and put the deck just above the bottom of the structure. You could also elect to use four rubber dampers if you are having vibration issues. The first picture below is an older version of this deck which can be found on Thingiverse if you think it will better suit your needs.

Install

1. Print the "Complete STL group" file

2. Tap the four clips to M3

3. Assemble the deck in the wood structure using four M3 machine screws AFTER the wood structure is installed in the plane

4. Make sure all four clips are lined up evenly and fully seated against the wood

5. Use thin CA to secure the clips to the wood being careful not to glue the deck to the clips

Print Recomendations

ABS or PLA is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Rear Gear Deck

The rear deck idea came from a poster on RCGroups as a way to mount an ESC directly under an air vent in the hatch. I really liked this idea so came up with my own version which pivots up so you can get to anything below the deck if and when needed.

	52021	Complete rear deck STL group	52021.STL

Install

1. Print the "Complete STL group" file or the individual parts

2. Tap the the two pivot ears to M3

3. Tap the two rear mounts to M3

4. Mount the deck to the pivot piece with two M3 x 8mm screws (I use nylon screws)

5. Snap the pivot piece into the center of the rear wood cross-piece

6. Wick in some thin CA glue

7. Pivot the deck to level and mark the side foam where the rear mounts are to go

8. Use E6000 or UHU-POR glue to glue the mounts in place and screw the deck down to hold it all together while the glue sets

Print Recomendations

ABS or PLA is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Motor Mounts

Rear Motor Mount

The wood mount is sufficiently strong and when set-up correctly will provide secure mounting and enough air flow for cooling. Please see my set-up of the wood mount for more information - Wood mount set-up.

Having said that, I designed these prints to accommodate all the aspects of the correctly set-up wood mount as an alternative for those who need a replacement or want to do a print instead. This mount has a larger center hole and wire pass through as well as 5mm stand-offs to allow more cooling air to exit the fuselage. Also in this design are four "ears" that lock it into position and two sets of cross mount holes on different bolt circles to accommodate many 22XX and 28XX motor cross mounts. The mount holes have "nut wells" to glue in M3 nuts on the forward side.

UPDATE
Added a second, 33mm x 44mm mount.

	52176	Motor mount for 33mm & 44mm bolt patterns	52176.STL

Install

1. Print the mount front side down

2. Clean-up the print and check that you can push M3 nuts into the nut wells. If not, heat the nut till you can just pus it in. Add a tiny bit of CA glue.

3. Put small pieces of cellophane tape over each nut to protect it from the mount glue.

4. Using a soldering iron or hot wire, carve out the four small notches for the mount ears in the fuselage halves.

5. Dry fit the part insuring the fuselage halves go together tightly & easily.

6. Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to glue the mount in place.

7. After the fuse is glued up, use a small hotwire through each cross-mount hole to pierce the cellophane tape and open the foam up for screw clearance.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for this part with an infill of at least 60%. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Original Twin Motor Mounts

The twin project was another that came from some discussion on RCGroups. I did this one a little differently because I did the design and then left it up to the community to do some of the initial testing. The results were mixed with some folks having launch issues and some having no problems.

After a few weeks of this someone requested simple 2D drawings of something they could cut out of plywood or plastic so I came up with the "Simple" solution. This uses simple 6 piece skeleton mounts that are assembled then mounted to the plane. Thee are the mounts I eventually (successfully) tested with and they are nearly identical to the "swoopier" mounts first designed.

This then are these two versions starting with the original design.

Left side mount

	52009	Motor mount, right side	52009.STL
	52010	Motor mount key	52010.STL

Install

1. Print the mount motor face down

2. Clean up and push, with a little glue, four nyloc nuts into the nut wells inside the mount

3. Carefully measure and mark where the inside edge of the mount is to go

4. Make a trough in the wing foam to pass ESC motor wires into where the mount will be

5. Apply liberal amounts of glue and push the mount into position on the wing

6. Make sure to thread the ESC wires in through the wire hole in the mount face

7. Check that the mounts are perfectly parallel with a straight edge then clamp and pin in place and let the glue fully set

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for this part with an infill of at least 40%. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Offset Twin Motor Mounts

Here are offset mounts for motors with a 16x16 to 19x19 mount hole pattern. These mounts lower the motor thrust-line 12mm with respect to the wing center line and will ease the overturning moment which causes the plane to pitch down on launch. For more information on this "pitch-down effect" please see this document-

Effect from Motor Thrust.pdf

These mounts have no leading edge angle designed in so it is necessary to slightly dent the inside contact point.

Offset mount assembly

Front Piece

After printing use a clamp to maintain the integrity of the front piece and tap the four radial holes to M3. Once tapped, coat the threads with thin CA to add strength. You may have to file or sand the outside diameter of the four ears so the front piece will easily fit into the main mount body.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52230	Offset Twin Motor Mount Body	52230.STL
	52231	Offset Twin Motor Mount Front	52231.STL

Install

1. Use a good flexible glue such as E6000 or UHU-POR.

2. Assemble the body to the wings on the plane making sure the two mounts are parallel and exactly the same distance from the fuselage.

3. Clamp in place and wait for a full cure.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for these parts with an infill of at least 80%. They should fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Simple Twin Motor Mounts

Here are the simpler, easier to print mounts. They aren't much to look at but they are effective!

Misc Mini Talon Parts

This is just a few more parts made for the Mini Talon which came out of various project ideas.

Collapsible Tow Hook

This actually came out of a design I did for a collapsible tow hook on my Zeta Phantom FX-61. It works well and when landing gets completely out of the way so no snags on grass, etc. This version also incorporates a "Tube End" which can help if you use a launch ramp that does not fully tension the pull chord.

This is a battery strap well or guide which moves the strap to the outside of the fuse. It isn't a Mini Talon only part but I include it here because it works really well on this plane. I mount it about 1/2" (13mm) forward of the wing leading edge but you will have to determine the best position for your build based on the extra gear you have.
