Greetings,
I'm experienced in electric flight, and now considering stepping up to a nitro trainer. My dad has a Hobbico Nexstar .46 trainer that he has offered to me. It has flown once or twice and it just wasn't convenient for him to go to the club and fly it. That was 10 years ago. It has sat since then. This brings me to my reason for posting. I can assume it needs a new receiver battery. I was going to put a new spektrum full size receiver in it to go with the DX6i transmitter I already have. It has the old school crystal radio in it. Anything else I should really check out before I attempt to fly this bird? The motor was left with fuel in it. I'm getting this plane for free and it is cosmetically in great shape. Just looking for advice on what you'd do with a plane that's been sitting so long. Thanks for helping this nitro "big-plane" noob.
