I've been looking at the Astro Hog for a while now.

And I keep asking myself, is it sufficiently different from the four-star to make it worth it?

I have some four-star-40 (and 60) kits waiting to be built.

Should I spend the money and add an Astro Hog. If it isn't different than the 4-stars, I wonder, is it really worth it?

When I first looked at the Astro Hog, I thought it resembled GP's Slow Poke. (I have one of these too, btw.) But I see that was an incorrect assumption.

I think, if I did take the plunge, I'd think about making it a tail-dragger, and putting retracts in the wings.
