Kingfisher 1.1

For our battle at the VA Medical Center in Dayton, I went overboard on ship bling. This involved printing 20 Wildcats for my Bouge CVE and two Kingfishers for my USS Roanoke. Starting with the Wildcats I printed 22 sets and had 22 good planes. Printing the Kingfisher didn't work as well - printing 10 sets netted two mediocre planes. So obviously the design of the Wildcat was far superior. So I fired up my CAD program and revised the Kingfisher to make it easier to print and assemble.

The new parts do not require any support to print. Most parts also have additional bed area and should be more resistant to coming loose in the middle of the print. The tail is now one piece instead of two, making assembly easier. The prop and wing floats were enlarged slightly to make them easier to print and handle. The supports for the main and wing floats were enlarged, eliminating the thin extrusions that some printers choked on.
