Hi all, I started with my Nexstar and i believe it is a very good plane minus the afs. I strongly suggest to remove it or you will be fighting it instead of flying it. Also the sun has to be in the right direction. I would take of the speed flaps after 2 flights and adjust your throws acording. Put all of your servo leads back into there original positions. I think you will enjoy this plane and have many safe take offs and landings. my 2 cents
