Default RE: Hobbico flightstar 40

Are you sure it is a FLIGHTstar....I haven't heard of that but I have heard of a SUPERstar, mainly because I have that plane (the Superstar)

Anyways.....about the wings......(I'm talking about my Superstar here)......With this, you have a tube that goes in one wing, and into the other, and then you put like a nylon or metal strap over it and tighten it down, to keep the wings together.......

Now, unles the person that you have bought this plane has epoxyed the wings together, it is VERY easy for the wings to be taken apart, and put back together too!!.....all you (or the person from ebay) have to do is untighten the bolts, take off the clevaces for the ailerons, and carefully pull apart the wing halves.....

Then, but put them back together, slide the two wings together (with the tube in one wing) and "bolt" them together with the strap, and put back the servo control connectors on the ailerons...........

Hope this Helps........!!!
