If I recall, the Four Star plan actually requires you to cut and splice part of it in order to get the full length on the board (I could be wrong). I know that I cut up my original Four Star plans. It was my first build. On every build since, I have had a copy made prior to starting the kit, and have saved the original plans. I also save all of the scrap sheets after punching out the parts. I keep it all in the original box, along with the manual, in case I ever have to do major repairs in the future.

Good luck. The Four Star is a really easy build and a great flying plane. The .52 four stroke is a great choice.
