Jet Star was a nice airplane. As a kid, the kit was cheap and in my budget! It had a really hot HP 61, Rhom Airs and a Pro-Line radio and I really enjoyed flying it. The battery failed and it went straight into the concrete at Mitchell Field - I had to sit there for three hours with the pieces until my mother picked me up! I remember the picture on the box had whitewall wheels. I also seem to remember that there was built-in positive incidence in the wing which I ended up removing to get it to fly like I wanted it to. I also added a sub-fin and sub rudder to remove the KE coupling. Good luck with it!
