About this model

I wanted to add a bit of realism to my FT Simple Cub rc plane, so here is my dummy motor setup. Port, starboard side cylinders and air intake shrouds are each printed separately. Simply hot glue components to side of fuselage. The FT Simple Cub I believe is 1/10 scale, so if you want any other size, scale these replica motors in your slicer software.
