Hi,

The Interceptor is a very cool looking airplane, but it aint gonna run no circles around no Starfire [the double-negatives are for emphasis]. On the two occasions that I had an opportunity to see them both in the sky simultaneously, it was noticeable that the Starfire was faster. Without question, it lands slower.

Like I've previously stated, though, at the current price ($595 according to their site), the Prefab Interceptor's a good deal. Manufacturing-wise, the Starfire kit is (in my very, very, very humble opinion) superior to the Interceptor kit by far, but since you can get a prefabbed one so cheap right now, why not? At first glance, I also prefer the looks of the Interceptor, but after flying a Starfire, I, like so many others, found out that the looks of the Starfire quickly grow on you. Especially when you can get the bird airborne in less than 100', and hover it in a 10mph headwind with flaps. Good luck!
