They don't answer their emails or any questions sent thru Ebay.
I doubt that they have ever built a model Firstar.
I have asked for pictures of the "model" several different times both on
their company site and "Ask seller a question" on Ebay.
I'm sure they would be glad to try if you would send them the
money first. Save your money.

For about $30, Harbor Freight has this twin engine FS,
radio control model. I crashed it 3 times first time out.
Some reinforcement and trim done since. Should be
pretty close now. No elevator control, direction is from
variable thrust.
Definitely a fair weather flier.
In the 60s I flew some control line and wanted one of the new RC
outfits. About $1000 at the time which is easily $5000 in today's
dollars. Glad I waited.
Instead bought an Aeronca (real airplane) for $1000 and flew it
home.

Harbor Freight has a salvage outlet where my brother bought me two of those
exact same models for $10. I have been flying RC airplanes for a while, but
was unable to fly those little varmits. Climb and dive is by how much
throttle you give it and when, and turn is by which engine you are giving
the throttle to. Anyone who can fly one of those can probably do anything
requiring great coordination and anticipation.
I have built about a half dozen or so RC airplanes this last year, make them
all out of blue fan-fold foam from Lowes, works out to about $4 an airplane,
not counting the hardware, which I recycle from one airplane to the next.
They work incredibly well, even if they are all mostly the same boring
color...
The little kid that lives behind me came over yesterday with one of those
"flying hydroplanes" that his uncle gave him for Christmas, wanted me to
help him fly it. After six atempts (it has elevators, but no rudders, you
turn it by giving power to the motor on one side, shutting down the one on
the other side, and it won't fly on just one motor) he was getting kind of
discouraged, so in a few minutes I will go downstairs and resusicate my
Firestar-looking RC trainer and teach him to fly with something that
actually flies well, and doesn't require super-reflexes to manage.

Hi Rick,
Udall, KS must be where you live!
I stopped for fuel and donuts at El Dorado, KS two summers back. I also stop at
Juction Cty, KS when in the area to visit the son in the Army.
I need places to visit that I can take some photos of. Maybe a trip back to the
Northeast is in order.

Bad news, folks. Pat Ladd just notified me that Goulding's Hotel in
Monument Valley is sold out for the weekend of May 17, 18, 19. I called
Goulding's a few minutes ago to double check, and it's true - the "Red
Bull Air Races" have been scheduled there for our weekend and the hotel
is full. I did reserve a campsite, but not sure how many are left, and
not too sure I want it. (in fact, real sure I don't want it)
Seems to me that the weekend there will be jam packed with people coming
to the races - and Red Bull is a big outfit. Might be to our benefit to
consider waiting 2 weeks. I just called back, and the very pleasant
lady in reservations told me that the following weekend - May 24 & 25 -
is full with a large Japanese tour group and no rooms are available. On
the 1st of June, they have 10 rooms open, and on June 2, they have 20
rooms. Sounds much better for us.
I'm sure that some would enjoy the air races, but I, for one, prefer the
quiet, relaxed pace of previous years, and feel no desire to be in the
middle of that tangle. Let's aim for June 1 & 2. Lar.

Hi All,
Why not make it two weeks earlier when it is slightly cooler or even the last week
of April when the flying weather is still good and not so thermally. Later
in the summer months in the desert isn't much fun to fly in except really early
morning. It would be much nicer for the people that camp out also. Not so dang
hot during the day or night. The last week of April or the first week of May
is beutiful up there. More green and flower blossums.

If you drive in for the Fly-In or live local, you don't have to think about the
weather as much as the folks that fly in.
If you think the extra people will be a problem, we can move the location to Kayenta
(0V7).
Earlier or later in the month of May interferes with lots of other events around
the country.
I would love the see the Red Bull Air Race if it is in that region. As of now, they haven't released the schedule for 2007: http://www.redbullairrace.com/race2007.php

Hi Lar,
I have not, but it is usually better. The annual Airstream trailer people don't
come until later and we usually compete with them in the trailer park. I can
check and get back to you. It is much prettier in MV in April because everything
blooms, but the first of May is ok, too. Anything before the last week of April
or the first of May is much better flying and camping weather.

Larry,
I apologize if I've gotten my wires crossed and have already asked you. Can
you send me your phone number or call me at 850-543-1134? I'd like to drive up
this weekend if that is allright.
Thanks,
Rique
