Overview
Starling 1230mm (48.4") Wingspan - PNP from Skynetic - SKY1028-002
The Skynetic Starling is a high wing trainer that provides an economical entry for new RC pilots learning how to fly. Made with lightweight yet durable EPO foam with a high cambered wing and rugged tricycle style landing gear, the Starling delivers high value in a low cost trainer airplane. Both the wing and landing gear are easily removable for transport, and the internal structure is sensibly reinforced in specific areas so that the overall aircraft remains both durable and easy to repair.
Intermediate pilots may choose to remove the landing gear entirely to convert the model to a hand-launch/belly-land airplane for increased speed and agility.
Visit the Official Skynetic 1230mm Starling Discussion Thread on HobbySquawk.com for additional photos, videos, reviews, and customer Q&A.
Features:
- Durable EPO foam construction
- High wing with large camber to increase trainer-friendly flight behavior
- Rugged and strong tricycle landing gear for added insurance on takeoffs and landings
- Easy to remove wing and horizontal stabilizer makes transport a breeze
- Convenient assembly with only six screws

Stable flying, fast or slow. Was able to get some decent easy acrobatics with this one too. Nose wheel works good on grass field, steering is good as well.

With a gyro receiver (SAFE) it flies like the Apprentice, the AstroScout, or any other of the SAFE mode trainers. Full manual mode is easy and stable. I would advise larger wheels for grass fields but other than that it is good to go.

A bit marginal with a 2S battery but a 3S battery really brings it to life. So stable and easy to fly you don't need gyro assistance. No bad wing stalls at landing speeds. For the price you cant beat this plane as a trainer or just a casual fly around. Only wish is that the fuse was a bit wider to aid radio gear installation.

My issue is the landing gear screws are very short.. I feel they are not strong enough..the only ones you can use are the short black ones.. I ordered a full set of replacement screws and will use the longer ones to better secure the main gear. The rest of the plane is great..flies well easy assembly. I used the fiber rods (2)and The screws only..no need to glue the wing halves together .
