In 1985 the UltraStar embryo evolved into the very successful FireStar series.
An instant success, the FireStar exhibited some major noticeable changes such as the placement of the engine on top of the wing allowing for a much larger diameter propeller.
The addition of a nose fairing, a short
windshield with provisions for a full enclosure and spring landing gear showed
the progression of design from the earlier UltraStar.
