i had a hobbico superstar and i just loved it! it would pull some nice little maneuvers, matter of fact, i have a h9 cessna with a symmetrical airfoil and it won't do the maneuvers that my superstar would no way! the hobbico is a good plane even as a second plane, if i had it all to do over i would definitely stick with the superstar as it is a pretty decent trainer as well as a wonderful second plane considering the aerobatics i had it doing! oh and it will fly inverted all day despite the dihedral!
