The Firstar 1600EX is an attractive and superbly designed FPV platform with a a host of neat features that make this model one of the best in it's class.
For toughness and reliability, the model features a blow moulded fuselage which utilizes Nylon and is virtually indestructable, the flying surfaces are all made from tough EPO foam. From a practicality standpoint, the wings are plug-in and the model requires no glue for assembly. Everything simply screws together. The outer canopy is purely for looks and is used when the Firstar 1600EX is flown as a glider, though unclips in seconds to reveal a camera ready platform, complete with a pan/tilt servo mounting hole that has been pre-moulded. This large camera platform/wing cover is secured by a quick release latch and once removed, reveals huge canopy area for mounting batteries and FPV equipment onto a pre-fitted plywood plate. All servos, motor & ESC are of course pre-installed.
The two piece wing has mouldings for adding flaps if desired plus moulded C of G indicators on the underside for quick pre-flight checks. There is no doubt that this is a superbly designed, high quality FPV model at an excellent price. It would be fair to say that it is more attractive to look at than most FPV platforms, not to mention much tougher, the Firstar 1600EX will give the RC Pilot hours of enjoyment for many years to come!
