The LoneStar was developed by Ken Rehler and Tom Carlson as a simple single-seat very light helicopter.[2] Rehler formed Star Aviation to market the design in kit-form.[2] The open-frame helicopter was powered by a 65 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 piston engine.[1]
Due to the death of Rehler, Star Aviation no longer produces and sells kits. The aircraft was later developed into the Redback Buzzard, but only one prototype was completed.[2][3]
