One of my friends had the Superstar. I don't remember the cam system giving particularly precise control but it was a cool idea. I had a similar airplane in that it had the same type of drive system but no cam system for changing direction. It was pure free flight and looked more like a Laser aerobatic plane. If flew pretty well for an off the shelf toy until it landed in a field of cotton stalks.
