Bought a BUSA Northstar kit last year and they don't supply the nylon control rods in it no more.

Thanks Jonathan,
She is a fun to fly toy airplane, Wheels, Floats or Ski's She never lets Me down. The stoopid thing about it is I can point it straight up, hold full throttle and poke the sticks into opposite top corners and it just twists itself across the field at a constant altitude until I let go.

Hi Paul
From day one I have been running it as is out of the box first two years with the stock muffler, baffle removed. Than I recovered it and built a fiberglass cowl and I put a slimline Pits style muffler on it, more for appearance than any other reason, no noticeable performance difference, a little LOUDER but not offensively loud to other flyers.
