Title: Stuffing a Twinstar II
Post by: 123RC on August 29, 2011, 01:02:41 PM
Hey guys

I'm getting ready to build the Twinstar 2 as my FPV platform, but I'm looking at all the FPV kit that will have to go onboard and am wondering "How the heck am I gonna get all of that...... into there?"  :o
Have any of you guys got any detailed pictures of a twinstar II build and/or where you put everything and how it worked out in the end?

I'd hate to put everything in place only to find it weakens the fuse / interferes with the RC / throws off the CG / etc etc...

I've seen a lot of pictures of Twinstar II's used for FPV, but none of them show how any of the equipment was installed  :(

Thanks
Rich...

Its the dual esc / motors are double the failure points, with less room to play with senario. Most choose something else tbh

twinstars were used before the skywalker came along for alot of cargo
