Got me back into R/C. Flew 2 gallons through the LA 40 and retired the plane. Moved up to an AEROBAT and have never looked back.
However, I will tell you my Superstar took enormous punishment: Flew into a tree; hit an aerial wire, spun around and made a 3-point directly below the impact point; rolled on a crosswind landing..wing intact; numerous hard landings simply to bounce around abit...
Yeah, she took a ton and is still in one piece...albiet the covering is a bit shoddy, LOL. Guess I'll donate her to some newbie whenever...
All in all, the Superstar is a great 1st airplane whether you're on a budget or not. Out-of-the-box and into the air.

As Don Dewey used to say, "Excelsior!"
