Regarding the Futaba Acrostar purchase
That is a difficult plane to fly ,as it has a rep for wing tip stalling ,and snapping into a spiral
i got about 3/4 of a lap out of the plane ,it snapped and spun into the ground ,a total wipe out
i waited a good deal of time,to develope enough skill to fly the plane ,but to no avail for me
I think the plane made Futaba a lot of money LOL!,!
Just a heads up to be careful flying that ship
If you ---sharpen the leading edge --with balsa stock , from the wing tips ,to about 6 inches into the wing , going twards the fuse ,that should reduce the tendancy to tip stall ,and snap
It may help if you know what to expect
