RE: Plane for LA65
G'day The Four Star 60 is a great aeroplane. Mine started out with a Saito 72 which I think would be similar to your LA65 and it now has a Saito100 because my son said the Saito 72 was not strong enough. Actually it was strong enough for me but not for him! Mine (which is in the little picture to the left) is a kit built version with Solatex covering to help it last a while. The 4* builds very easily and flies really well too. When my Saito 100 tried to fall out recently (loose mounting bolts now held with thread locker) it caused the throttle to no longer go to idle and as a result I had to putter around until the fuel ran out. When it did, I was amazed at how well the Four Star glided and how long it took to loose height to land. Actually, it was probably the best landing I had ever done with it. A friend is currently putting together the ARF version. He is not too impressed though as the fit of the two halves of the wing is quite poor. Out by about 1/4 inch at the centre and more than 1/8 at the tips. All the best. Michael
