My other project is nearing completion, and I need hangar space, so my toy has to go to a new home...
1 each 1984 Starflight TX-1000, Rotax 377. Engine was gone through in 2017, sails replaced at that time, as well.
I installed the later generation Bing 54, and it is jetted for 2000ft field elevation and 85 degrees.
Since I have had the bird, nothing but 100LL and Penzoil Two-Stroke has gone through the fuel system.
I replaced 95% of the hardware with new AN. New Racelite pulleys for the spoilerons.
Give her a shot of prime, and the engine starts first pull.
Sails are in good shape. I have kept her in the hangar, and the previous owner kept her in his garage.
I replaced the 16" bicycle rear main wheels with Azusa 5" nylons. They seem to agree with pavement better.
Good, straight, vintage ultralight.

Bird is located at 56F.
$4,000 cold green folding type.
Have a look at her flying at Youtube "Starflight TX-1000 56F"
