Overview
The MXS is a plane that is not only supposed to be scale, but also fly well. I really tried to favor how this plane flies over the looks of the plane. I have to say thank you to Andres Lu, Adrian Chupp, Oliver Willis, Sam Hiatt, Jase Dussia, and Jonathan Gum. I had lots of help and feedback from these guys to help make the plane what it is.
Some of the most common feedback was primarily the undersized rudder, and not enough elevator throw. In a knife edge, the nose would be pointed relatively high and using a lot of rudder throw to keep the same altitude. To fix this I sized up the rudder/vertical stabilizer. To fix the problem with the elevator throw I had to change the concept of the elevator. In other words, both sides of the elevator used to be connected by just foamboard but now is connected by a 3D printed connector rod. When I went up to the Great Lakes Fly In, I learned that the plane needed more throw on the elevator to tumble. The elevator connector rod allows the elevator to be stronger and have more throw.

3D Printed Pieces
All files for this plane can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6270332
All of these pieces should be printed with PLA, SLA, or PETG. (If you choose to print them in PLA, just be careful of leaving the plane in heat/direct sunlight.)
Elevator Connector Rod: 100% Infill
Firewall: 100% Infill
Gear Mount: 25% Infill, Supports: Yes
