As Britbat did I moved my gear to the front which cured a lot of steering and prop breaking, this Nexstar lands so slow and easy, with no takeoff problems at all. As for the negative comments thats bull, Nexstar when set up correctly can easy be flown by a beginner, I learned completely by myself and I now fly in clubs and events and win points so to those who say the plane isn't good it's to bad they did'nt just set it up correctly, I used the afs 4 times, took it out put in a 4 stoke and moved the gear forward and just love this slow flying bird which looks great in the air. Also the manual say's to clean the paint from the holes in the gear, I have never lost mine in 2 years.
My 2 cents worth. You surely should get a better instructor.
