Just like the Four-Star 40 and the Four-Star 120, the Four-Star 60 has a near perfect blend of simple construction, classic looks, and outstanding flight performance. State-of-the-art CAD drawn plans and laser-cut parts assure you of precise parts fit and perfect alignment. The lite-ply fuselage and simple wing design get the Four-Star 60 out to the flying field in short order.
With a wing loading like a trainer, the Four-Star 60 is easy to fly, yet will perform all the free-style aerobatics your thumbs can keep up with. Day in and day out, the Four-Star 60 will be the sport model you'll want to take to the flying field every time.
