Which mods to add for the Hobbico Superstar
Hello again well I have decided to go with the Hobbico Superstar EP with ailerons over the parkzone super-d. Now my question is what is a simple list of mods to add to the superstar to make it a better longer lasting trainer. I was thinking like motor,battery, prop, larger tires, steerable tail wheel. I am new to rc so all the help would be great to maybe after mods are suggested if you could help me with install of them.

IF your willing to leave a good design alone then just buy some 7 cell 3800mah packs and go fly! local hobby shop sells the 3800 packs for $38.
Bigger main wheels, brushless motor, 2 lipoly packs - and charger and speed control cost enough to have -atlest- 8 7X3800 packs..... I leave the charger at home and fly.
Belive me 8 minute flights 8 times is more than all the flying I do at the field, of coures Dallas Wingdiners has a canvas runway.
BTW 6 to 8 minutes is the average the glow flyers do at a time - timmed with a stopwatch in the pocket.
