Nexus 30, where are the parts?
I bought this thing on a whim yesterday. Brand new, never started, never flown. The only thing it's missing is the rotor blades. I managed to track them down, and ordered a pair... but other parts are proving difficult to find. Are caliber 30 parts compatible?
Another question... how do I get started with this thing. I flew my dad's old GMP, and some electrics over the years... but I've never assembled one, much less set one up. The previous owner assembled this thing from a kit, and I have no way of knowing if he did everything right.

RE: Nexus 30, where are the parts?
Looks like even back in 2007 parts were hard to find for this one.

There is always ebay too. Or you could probably part it out and make enough money to get something more up to date if the parts are still as hard to come by.
Raptors have been around a long time and parts are still plentiful for them. Maybe a Raptor 30 or 50 is in your future. They can be had used for a steal. Also, you could go with Align. Or you could build a clone.
So many choices...so little money, and even less time! lol

Another question, did this come as RTF? I didn't get a box with it, so I have no idea.
Apparently they were all supplied with the OS 32SX engine and Futaba 6EXP transmitter, which mine has. If it came assembled from the factory, maybe I don't need to worry about adjusting things until I first run it?

I guess I'll just fly it until I break something.

If you're intent on flying it at the very least build yourself some training gear.
