Training to be a Star

...now just to fly it

Today I finished the assembly of my Trainstar, a high-wing Cessna-type taildragger. It's a great looking plane, complete with soft foam tyres and spats! It's got rugged aluminium undercarriage which also doubles as suspension.



I took it to the field last night although ended up not flying it, but instead doing taxi-training to get a feel for its behaviour on the ground. Also, for someone who's never had an aircraft with undercarriage, taxiing it around was deeply groovy...
