Starduster Too...experiences?
"david" wrote in message
... My quest to find "the ideal" homebuilt bipe continues. Has anyone got any build experiences with the Starduster Too? It looks pretty, but is "pretty" another word for "very difficult"? I have seen the AS&S web site - nice - so have to ask...do most people buy kits in stages and build from that or what? Or do they just buy a sheet of plans? (Can't believe that). It seems most folk in the UK buy ready made from the States! Eek! Anyone know what the 'hole' size is like on the Starduster? I'm well over 6 feet tall and 200lb David Hole size is about the only question I can answer. I too am tall. 6'2", and 205, and I fit very well in either seat. My friend has just finished his Starduster II(with a continental radial), and I got to taxi it last weekend, it hasn't flown yet. The only problem I had was taxiing from the front seat. There is a cross member just above the landing gear, that runs about 5" behind the rudder pedals. With my feet on the pedals, my heel jammed the cross member, and locked the rudder in position. It could be a problem, so he'll probably disconnect the forward pedals when carrying pax. Al |
