Hi,

What version of the Starfire are you talking about? Is it the JMP one or the Yellow A/C?

Either way, don't worry about 14 pounds, you'd be shocked how light it will fly at that weight. I had one with doubled-up fuel system, removeable wings, smoke pump-tank-battery and all that. It had a dry weight of 16.5 pounds. It still flew fabulously. It was the Blue Angels one I had at St. George.

Good luck!
