- If you already purchased the original darkstar from me this is free! go back into your download area and you will see the "gen 2 twin 50.0" (1270mm).
After getting some feedback from my customers I decided to redesign the whole airframe. I moved the fans so the weight balance will be much easier to obtain a proper CG. The twin 50mm scale also flies much better and less twitchy. Fantastic park flier and the LOOK of this thing in the air is crazy.

Parts Needed
Any 50mm EDF's (2x)
Any 40 amp ESC's (2x)
y harness adaptor for the ESC's
3000 mha 4s lipo or similar size
3x 9g servos https://a.co/d/4fOtTFY
1.2mm pushrod
velcro for attaching the battery and esc's
hot glue for the EDF's and servos
Pre flight setup:
setup the two outer surfaces as elevons.
setup the middle elevator as a single elevator. use an auxilary channel and set the input to "elevator"
I personally used the lower holes on the control horns and top holes on my servo arms. I used 80% rate on roll and 90% on pitch. 30% expo on roll and 10% on pitch. I would use less rate and more expo than I did for your first flight.
