Default RE: Hobbico flightstar 40 need more opinions

That's cool!! , glad to hear of another FlightStar survivor, I'm guessing due to it's age, this was a very early ARF trainer for Hobbico, if not their first trainer ARF , followed by the Avistar, HobbiStar-mkII & SuperStar? then finally the Nexstar (did I miss any lol). Also the low wing Brightstar and Gen 1 Twinstar were early also... I believe many of these early Hobbico Planes had that peel and stick covering on them... Of them all, the Brightstar is the rarer of them, I've Only seen one of these in person years ago..


I think the word star itself has been used a tad too many times also for R/C planes, don't forget the Sig Midstar/ Fourstar series
The Midwest AeroStar, etc, I'm sure there's many more lol
