Description

This is the only Darkstar available that can easily be hand launched and easily flown fast or slow in a park. This gorgeous (probably one of the coolest looking) jet has lots of scale details and panel lines thanks to the detail work from Thomas Heuer! When you fly this thing you wont believe you're flying a scale Darkstar from the movie Maverick! This is easily an intermediate EDF jet.

description Build Log & Instructions
Day 1: Started with the frame assembly. The carbon fiber frame went together smoothly. Day 2: Installed the flight controller and ESCs. Had to do some custom wiring for the power distribution. Day 3: Motor and prop installation. Balanced everything carefully. Day 4: First test flight - amazing performance! The twin motor setup provides incredible power.
