STANDARD DATA: Gross wt. 1,000. Empty wt. 650. Fuel capacity 20. Wingspan 23'. Length 17'2". Engine 100-hp Continental.
PERFORMANCE: Top mph 150. Cruise mph 90. Stall mph 35. Climb rate 1,800. Takeoff run (50') 300. Landing run (50') 500. Range 359.

In response to demand for a low-cost and low-horsepower aerobatic homebuilt, Stolp designed the V-Star, which is basically a biplane version of the parasol winged Starlet. Stressed to 9Gs, the V-Star was originally powered by a 65-hp Continental turning a fixed-pitch propeller; however, the airplane is certified to be outfitted with engines from 60 to 125 hp.
