Another one rolls of the production line...
Thought I would show off my new Airplane...
Four Star 60 as is so popular with most new pilots...
This is my second Airplane and first kit build. I decided to keep it simple with the covering, used red monokote on the top and Navy Blue Ultracoat (Oracover) on the bottom...
Cut the canopy down some what... I think the original lines of the canopy ruin the look of the Airplane but cutting it down makes it look much better...
I have used a SuperTigre G-90 turning a 14x6 Prop...
So far I am happy with the combination. The Airplane takes off strongly on about half throttle and flys around well with half throttle...
I have only had 5 flights consisting of circuits mixed up with a few loops... So I can't comment much in the Aerobatic performance of the Airplane but if flys true with only a little left trim.
I'm really glad that I have the 90 on the Airplane. I feel that once I get used to the bigger control surfaces (as compared with my trainer) I will need that power. A 60 would be too small in my opinion. Although this depends on how you fly; I tend to fly fast and agressive...
The Airplane sits really nice in the air and I like the way it flys.
I find the airplane better to land than my trainer. With the trainer you would think you where going to stall blip the engine and find yourself back up in the sky but the 4 Star can be brought in faster and so in my opinion is more true to what you would expect given a particular airspeed and height.
It is still a floater though... Just not as bad as the Trainer...
Some Pictures...
