MIDWEST AeroStar 40
Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots
Overview
The Midwest Aero-Star is not only a good trainer, it is also really distinctive-looking. While its configuration and force arrangement must have come right out of a standard trainer-design specification, the rakish slope of the forward fuselage gives it a unique appearance. It also featums a flashy color scheme and simulated window decals. The overall impression is that it could be the latest Cessna high-wing commuter airplane.
The Aero-Star comes in two sizes - for engines in either the .40 or the .20 class. The .40 size, as reviewed here, has a 62-inch wingspan with 675 square inches of area and a weight in the 5 to 5-1/2 pound range. Specific engine recommendations are from .30 to .40 cubic inches for two-stroke engines or .40 to .45 for four-strokers. For comparison, the .20 size Aero-Star has a 52 -1/2 inch wingspan.
