Getting Ready for Flight
Your Hobbico SuperStar 40 trainer is ready for takeoff in as little as 15-20
hours. Your hobby dealer or flying instructor (see next page) can help you
decide what accessories you’ll need for flight. Most are one-time only
purchases—and your instructor will probably allow you to use his field box
until you can outfit your own with a glow plug starter, fuel bulb or pump, and
“chicken stick" or electric starter. You will need to provide your own fuel. Use
glow fuel with a 10-15% nitro blend to keep your engine performing at its peak...and
your SuperStar 40 will have the power to make you an accomplished pilot!
Other items you’ll need:
Glues
Choose any 5- or 6-minute epoxy, such as Hobbico Bullet,
which has been formulated especially for R/C model
building. Epoxies offer a strong bond and a variety of curing
times suited for every step of assembly. You’ll also need an
instant-setting CA (cyanoacrylate), a thicker CA+, and a 30-
minute epoxy, plus rubbing alcohol for easy epoxy cleanup.
Model Engine
Power your SuperStar with any high-quality, .40-
size model engine. The O.S. .40 FP, SuperTigre
GS-40 and Irvine .40 RC are just a few examples.
Look for features such as easy break-in, easy
starting, efficient carburetion and low
maintenance. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for propellers to use with your
engine.
Radio Equipment
To let you send the commands that control your
SuperStar 40’s “flight path,” you’ll need a 4-channel
aircraft radio system with four standard servos. Many
4-channel radios include just three servos. You may
need to purchase the fourth separately. The servos and
radio receiver will be mounted on-board your model
and need to be cushioned from jolts and vibration.
One-half inch thick foam rubber sheets are available
for this purpose
.
Hardware
Tools and accessories required for
assembly include a hobby knife; small
and large Phillips screwdrivers; needle
nose pliers; drill with 1/16” and 5/32”
bits; ruler; #64 rubber bands; 3 feet of
medium fuel tubing; and petroleum jelly.
