The "BeastyStar"

"This ain't no EasyStar no more"

A couple of neighbours and I often go flying with scratchbuilt parkjets and delta wings at a farmer's field nearby our city. This one particular sunday, a friend of one of us joined in the fun.
It was such a shame the "First in Fright" contest was over before I knew of this plane's existance, but hey, it's all about sharing fun :)

First when the thing was parked on the grass, I was instantly curious. It looked "off". Splintered carbon rod in the tail boom, ductape, blue foam repair patches, and a main wing and elevator that didn't match the plane.
Oh, and a broken (and therefore disconnected and loose) rudder.

All the more shocked and impressed I was with the flight characteristics:

It has a killer climb rate, and maneuvers like mad! This is an Easystar for real men, and I thought it was worthy of an honourable mention :)

And a little video on takeoff and some power display...
