Two notes for you,
#1, Depending on how long your friend had the Superstar, the receiver and transmitter batteries may need
replacement. When you contact a club, they may be able to help you determine their condition, or talk to your LHS.
#2, A 68-72in Bipe will most likely be too large for a .40 engine. For example, the 65" Stearman that I am building right now calls for a .75-.90 size.
Oh and #3, Welcome to the Hobby and enjoy!!
Thanks for the great advice!
I think I'm OK with the radio and receiver...they were still fully charged when I bought it. The kit is still quite new.
I ran in the new motor today. It took a few tried to start it (I probably didn't prime it properly) but when it started it ran very well. Iran through a full tank of fuel per the manufacturer's notes. Sounds like a strong little engine (OS Max-40LA).
