Tarun's RC Plane
The goal of the fuselage is to have both halves easily combined, have enough space for the electronic components and attach to the nosecone, empennage, and wings.
Design Attempts
Attempt 1: The first attempt used a lip - groove joint between the bottom and top halves of the fuselage. The skin of the this attempt was slightly too thin.
Attempt 2: The second attempt succesfully joined the top and bottom halves. The joint however was tight on the left lip - groove joint, while the right side fit perfectly. This inaccuracy was due to the printer itself. The easiest solution is to slightly sand the left joint.
