Ha! I laugh at you! I have one of those planes, and it is not worth your time and effort. I have a counterbalanced rudder on mine, and it'll knife-edge loop, but I don't think It'll hover too well. What motor you runnin? I got a TT Pro 46, and with a 12.25x3.75 funfly, it has unlimited vertical. If you feel the need, go ahead, but prepare to be disappointed.

Hi!
Listen, I know that the 4star wasn't built to 3D's, but it'll be my second airplane after the trainer, and I thought that after the trainer I'll buy Top Cap or an other 'basic 3D airplane' ("3D trainer"), but lots of people suggested me to buy a 'second airplane' (low wing and nose\tail wheel). They said that it'll be a bit difficault to me to start with 3D right after the trainer, even if I'll fly with Dual Rate and bla bla bla.... So I dicided to buy a second airplane and then Top Cap, or something like that, and I thought, maybe the 'second airplane' could make a bit 3D's with the right engine and low wight (when I mean "a bit 3D's", I mean that a friend of mine succeed to hover with my trainer and to do knife edge, so right, it's not like doing it with Top Cap but he succeed, and he flies 3D very very good, so I thought if he could make it with my trainer why I can't do it with the 4star???).
Do you think I should buy TopCap and fly it with dual rate and an instuctor (my friend), and low movement of the elev and I'll train a lot on the sim (Aero-Flight, I don't have it yet, cause I need to buy a transmitter, and it'll be soon, but I'll get AeroFlight for free) and bla bla bla...? Because I know lots of people that after the trainer they bought Hot Hots of Top Cap or things like that...
Thanks, Elad.
