For over 20 years, thousands of modelers have trusted their airplane to MonoKote coverings, making it the #1 choice. Here's why: It's durable. It's lightweight. It's easily repairable. It's fuelproof. It's beautiful.

Regarded as THE top-of-the-line trainer, the SuperStar .40 has introduced more beginners to R/C flight over the last 2 years than any other airplane. Its formula for success? Easy-to-follow, illustrated instructions, a superior design, exceptional reliability, and smooth, stable flight that builds confidence.

But Hobbico hasn't been resting on its laurels. Introducing the NEW SuperStar .40, featuring the greatest upgrade imaginable: it comes professionally precovered in Top Flite® MonoKote® film covering, the world's finest! Now this state-of-the-art trainer is winning over even more modelers, in both a 90% preassembled ARF kit and a completely prebuilt Ready-To-Fly version (SuperStar 40 Select), with engine and radio already installed. Now - more than ever - the Hobbico SuperStar .40 is the fastest, easiest... and best way to fly!

  • All-balsa parts are high quality and easier to repair than plastic or foam

  • A stylish profile and dazzling trim scheme sets it apart from other trainers

  • Comes with a complete package of quality GPM hardware, including fuel tank, motor mount, pushrods, spinner and more

  • The reinforced tricycle-style landing gear withstand less-than-perfect landings; large diameter wheels provide excellent ground handling

  • In the air, a large, flat-bottom wing and self-righting flight characteristics help keep you in control

Assembling the SuperStar 40 is quick and easy!

Parts layout Right out of the box, you can see the SuperStar is different from other kits. Most of the work is already done, including sub-assemblies that are already covered in Top Flite MonoKote film. Detailed, illustrated instructions assure success, no matter what your skill level.

In just 15-20 hours, you can be enjoying your first flight with the SuperStar 40.
