Starship Build Complete

A project log for Radio Controlled Starship Program

Trying to catch up to SpaceX's Starship program with my own radio controlled, electric version.

Just finished up the hardware build on the Starship prototype. I had the CAD model pulled up to help cross-reference as the parts came together. Most everything went together nicely, I just need to make some minor changes to some of the printed parts for better tolerances/additional features. I still haven't figured out a plan for landing gear--it will most likely be passive, but for now I think I'll just grab it out of the air. Stay tuned for a build video and parts files!

Now on to hover testing, then the maneuver never attempted before: the skydive.
