Dom and Finn take on the challenge of flying the Dark Star, a miniature version of the iconic jet from Top Gun Maverick. With its unique differential thrust system, they express a desire for a larger-scale replica of the aircraft. Despite initial struggles with the controls, the team successfully launches the jet, showcasing its twin EDFs and stable flight capabilities. However, a mishap occurs when Finn crashes the jet due to flying too low and slow, highlighting the importance of mastering the art of aerial maneuvers.
The team praises the Dark Star for its durability and enjoyable flying experience, contrasting it with more high-end aerobatic models that evoke fear during flights. They emphasize the convenience of hand launching the jet and caution against over-pitching, noting the model's impressive battery life. Additionally, they mention the option to select the number of batteries when purchasing the Dark Star, offering flexibility to users. As they take turns piloting the jet, both Dom and Finn face their fair share of challenges, with Dom humorously attributing his crash to a failed scram jet and a fictional "Mac 10.3" speed limit.
In a lighthearted manner, the team jokes about the pilot ejecting safely from the imaginary high-speed crash, adding a touch of Top Gun flair to their flying escapades. Despite the occasional setbacks, they find joy in the simplicity and fun of flying the Dark Star, highlighting its carefree nature compared to more delicate models. The video wraps up with fond farewells and references to Top Gun, leaving viewers entertained by the team's aviation antics and their adventurous spirit in the world of remote-controlled aircraft.
