I ordered several USR kits yesterday and they arrived today! I am also in Southern California but that is very fast shipping. The Starlight is a beautiful kit and big! 2.7" main tube diameter, total height of 48" and about 24" fin span. All very high quality parts & well cut, beefy tubes, 1/4" light plywood fins (5 layer ply) (8 fins!). It has a 38mm mmt and includes an adapter to fly 29mm motors. The big ring fins are 6" diameter. Looks like it will be a lot of fun to build & fly.
