have had good luck the last few trips into the air am using the gear out of nexstar engine, rec. bat.motor, and trx. hope to solo in the next couple of weeks instructor took it to the max today it flew good. only good about this plane isss that he said it is betteer than nexstar. hope to solo soon so i can fly more. want to let the vetern pilots have the field when they want to They have been a great bunch to learn to fly with except when they show the spotss that they have had uncontrolled landings in the stories are great but scare me.
