Default Starduster is a terrific flyer!!

Hello Al, Steve mentioned the Starduster and I just had to chime in!! I built one last winter as my first kit. I flew it all last summer with a .56 Saito for power. What a great flying little plane!!! It was my second year of flying so it would be hard to give an "experienced" report....... except...... I let 2 other seasoned pilots fly it and they confirmed it was a good flyer. I built a Sig 4*120 and Sig LT-25 this winter, and I will say that the Sig laser cut parts MAY? make it a little easier to build straight. BUT...... I wanted something different than a 4* 40 ..... and this thing gets mistaken for the 4* all the time.
See my attached photo.

PS... If you build one, I would advise to add a hatch for the tank. (4* does not have one in their plans either).

Good luck.....lownslo...

Bob
