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.

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.

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.

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.

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. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

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 -------- John Williamson Arlington, TX Kolbra, 912ULS http://home.comcast.net/~kolbrapilot1 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=85311#85311 ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 07:56:01 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: MV 07 From: "Roger Lee" 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. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
