+
+## Work in progress! ##
+
+Given the massive requests we decided to make the repository public but it is still currently lacking documentation and specifications.
+
+This will still give you the opportunity to view the entire project and print out all the individual components in order to finalize it.
+
+We will complete the repository with everything we need as soon as possible.
+
+To print the right wing you will need to mirror all the parts of the left wing in slicing, it is a very simple operation.
+
+---
+
+**eXplora Tailsitter VTOL** it was born from a concept by [Marco Robustini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-robustini-a48a49a8/) four years ago.
+
+Is a fully 3D printed vertical take-off UAS, printed in PLA, ABS and TPU filament.
+
+It comes in three formats: STL, 3MF and STEP, that way anyone can collaborate to improve it.
+
+The slicing of this taislitter is complex, which is why all 3MF-format designs run with the powerful open source slicing software [SuperSlicer](https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer) are provided.
+
+![](https://github.com/robustini/eXploraVTOL/blob/main/resources/wing1_superslicer.gif)
+
+If you decide to use other slicing software such as [Cura](https://3dgbire.com/pages/ultimaker-cura)  you should consider adding reinforcements at crucial points, taking a cue from the 3MF projects we provide as an example.
+
+We used the [Gyroid](https://3dsolved.com/3d-printing-with-gyroid-infills-all-you-need-to-know/) infill for most of the profiles, it comes from Nature, butterflies have an identical structure inside their wings, and Nature is never wrong.
+It guarantees lightness and incredible strength.

+
+## How it works and what it takes to finish it ##
+
+eXplora Tailsitter VTOL it requires flight control and other electronic components to operate.
+
+It has been tested with [Ardupilot](https://ardupilot.org) and [PX4](https://px4.io).
+
+It only uses two brushless motors for propulsion and two servos for the elevons, the minimum required for a fixed-wing VTOL.
