RE: fourstar 40 kit or arf?
Here's a suggestion if you choose to build the kit. The plane has a fairly slow roll rate and really really really floats on the landings. A common mod on the 4 * is to remove one bay from each wingtip. I suggest that you build the wing full length, BUT when you are adding your ailerons, add an extra hinge one bay in from the tip. This way, if you choose to shorten the wings in the future, you will already have a hinge to support the new tip of the ailerons. I didn't do this when I built my 4 *. It wasn't too hard to make the mod afterwards, but adding the hinges during construction would have made it nearly a field mod!. Btw, I use an OS 50SX in mine, lots of fun!!
