Here's a quick look at my new plane, and some video from the maiden flight where I started getting it tuned up. It's a Mini Talon that I just finished. So far I'm liking it! Here's the info:
Mini Talon (obviously)
Eagle Tree Vector
Dragonlink V2 w/Micro RX
Emax ES08MA-II Servos
Sunnysky 2216 1250Kv Motor
APC 8x6E Prop
Hobbywing 30A Pentium ESC (Replaced with a Turnigy Trust 45A now, will eventually get a Castle Phoenix ICE 50)
Multistar 4S 5200mAh LiPo
400mW 1280/1258 vTX from RMRC, will probably replace with an 800mW soon
FPVPro Dipole antennas for UHF and video
Runcam HD2 for bot onboard HD as well as live video
Check the Mini Talon thread at RCGroups for more information on this plane than you could ever want to know... lol
Links to printed parts:
Airscoop (mine was printed without the flat base)
Offset tilt mount
Flight Controller holder (must be built into the fuse before the halves are joined)
Here's a remixed lighter version of the FC mount. I would have preferred this one, but my fuse was built before he released this one...
I can't offer any advice as far as printing these parts, mine were kindly printed by a friend. I do not own a printer myself. :( One day! lol .

Here's some affiliate links to the video gear I use from Ready Made R/C:
1.3GHz video transmitters (I use 200, 400, 800, and 1500mW on various planes)
I recommend this receiver to go with them. I use an older Racewood type they used to sell, but these are supposed to be at least as good with the same Comtech tuners in them. Apparently Racewood is no longer in business, so here's what replaced them:
I use this 8dbi Patch Antenna, it has been my go-to antenna for a long time now, for years! lol I've been out more then 10 miles using one of these and the 800mW vtx listed above:
On the transmitter side, the stock dipoles that come with them work pretty good together with that patch, but if you want slightly better performance and less weight/drag, consider these:
