I put the Star Duster in the air for the first time today. A little bit of down elevator and left aileron and she flew beautifully. The tail comes up and stays level until you give it a little up and off she went. I think that ultimately I will need more power but vertical isn't to bad. I only got in one flight because for some reason the battery wasn't fully charged. I have it on the cycler now. Nice flying plane. Best 40 some bucks I have spent on a kit so far. I think this one will be in my arsenal when going to the field for a while. I'm guessing that it is alot like the 4*40 from what I have seen of it. As long as I dont get to cocky with it I think it will be aroung for a while.
