How to Fix Overheating 3D Printed RC Airplane

Free Cooling Vent STL: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/...

This is a 3D Lab Print Cessna 152. On my maiden flight, the engine overheated on the third lap around the field. It melted, the engine flew off, and the place crashed. This is a video on how I built a heat shield to cool the motor to prevent the firewall from melting. I will also take it out to the field and fly it with an onboard camera.
