Diamond DA-42 Twin Star

FIXED SPEED AND ADDED LIGHTS
A well recreated 1-1 scale build. The weight is almost the exact same, top speed, cruise speed and interior is as best as I could get without using too many parts. This build took 3 weeks to complete. Please also check out my Sonerai 1 for a light-sport-experimental build I made last month. I wanted to have functional doors but it messed with the smooth lines of the build and was too difficult to implement. The detailed landing gear and well appointed interior are a nice touch instead. Controls are simple.

  • AG1: Landing/Taxi Lights
  • G2: Gyro
  • AG4: Anti-Collision Lights (oops forgot to add these)
  • AG8: Close front gear door (IMPORTANT)
  • Flaps are VTOL slider

This is my first super serious build. If anyone wants to help configure the gear door to close and open with a delay be my guest. But if you want, you can can figure them to work alongsidelanding gear. Collision is turned off on those parts anyway.
