Default RE: Nexstar ARF Trainer configuration

I got mine used ,it's an old one and didn't have any of the flying aids on it.

It's a funny flying plane in the wind for sure.
I found that it needs a fair amount of speed in the turns and rudder use.
She does bounce around some when the winds blowing.
I had her up a few weeks back in about 8-9 mph wind and it was pretty challenging.

The guy that was helping me hated it.
So i just been flying it and finally got some real nice smooth landings yesterday
with very little wind.
Put the 11x5 prop back on, trimmed it a little nose up for slow flight and
just finally figured out how to bleed off enough speed for a landing.
The landings were giving me the most problem and it's not fun to watch em bounce down the strip.

I've had some hard landings and the plane has held together well and I do enjoy flying her more and more now.
Figure if it's not simple to fly it, then when you get something easier to fly then you'll be ahead of the plane I would think.
