RE: Balsa USA Northstar
I built mine per the plans. No probs in building. film covered..
It's only fklown twice, as teh original LA 46 just wasen't enough for it (didn't expect so anyways..)
It's fallen over twice. Breaking the tail & engine pod. So, it's in the 'repair pile'. (I've found teh best way to work onteh engine, is to prop it [vertically] against a wall, with teh 'sponsons' resting on boxes [to clear teh tail]. Works for storage too! except when your cat rubs against it, and knocks it over!!
The only realy problem with this plane, is storing it, and getting it into a car!!
