Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 TD, I usually find that the Arising Star, whilst not exactly a hotliner, can manage an unaided take-off from a grass strip. I've never had to use a trampoline to get one airborne - you sure you doing this right? BEB PS - Mind you might find it a tad easier with the wings attached Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother on 01/11/2010 19:05:09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Clarkson Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Trusty, I have heard this name before on another forum i am sure, are you on any others, maybe Justflight??The Arising Star will come ARTF (Almost ready to fly) and will need some work doing to it before flyable, but don't worry, any issues just ask here as you will find the answer is given to you asap as a good bunch on here. Good luck, hope Santa delivers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Trusty, welcome to the best hobby/sport in the world. Arising Star with a 46 up front an exellant combination to learn on. My Grandson learnt on one powered with a 40 2st., it flew very well, but a 46 will handle the wind better, especialy as the winter is on us.

Trusty Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi TD, The photo's are brill, she looks great!!! and bigger than I thought. Will i need any special tools to build her or glue etc???? I've got a screw driver and hammer somewhere lol!...... Whats the other aircraft? looks mint.... how does she fly with those wings? regards trusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARBON_ROD Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi Trusty, you will need some epoxy glue ,and a good modeling knife, and a strait edge or square to line your fin up you can do it by eye but that's not really a good way ,also some micro screw drivers . I think that's it . the other model is a vintage style BEN BUCKLE kit I've only flown it once just to iron out any hiccuops, i'n saving it for the summer at's called a record breaker because the original model broke some height records or at least that's what I've been told .

fly boy3 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi Trusty, My grandson was 16 when he started learning, but later university put an end to it for a while. If your son gets the urge to fly, at his age he will walk it. He will be into computer games etc, which fine tunes their co-ordination between brain and fingers. You will also be fine. Good weather in winter plus a good summer and a good tutor, you will both be doing your "A "certs, then away you go.FB3 ps I started at grand old age of 50.

fly boy3 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi taildragger,Is it the Lanzo Record Breaker.. What engine have you mounted up front. FB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 TD, Thanks for that, I will get those bits before crimbo just incase santa delivers!!!! I've been watching some you tube footage of the star, it looks great, have you seen the "nats" footage added to the site, there's some serious aircraft on there..... Better not run before I can walk or fly!!!! But I like the warbirds!!! Trusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 FB3, Hey well done for starting at that age, how long did it take you to learn?I thought I was old at 37, what are you flying now? Yes my son likes the video games etc, fifa 11 gets a hammering on his xbox, and he also reads my rcme magazines saying "when I get my spitfire!"........

CARBON_ROD Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi FB3! yes it is a Lanzo Record Breaker , I put a Merco 61 up front i thought it was in keeping with the vintage image , it runs nice , been rebuilt . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
