Default RE: help with balancing nexstar

Hey .....I bought the ARF version and put a OS 46 in it. Amazingly after it was done....the CG was PERFECT. Although I had alot
of other problems with the plane. Make sure you file a flat groove in the front landing gear and line it up PERFECT with the rudder.
Even though I did this....it still caused alot of grief. (Read my thread "NEXSTAR....PROBLEMS .... PROBLEMS....PROBLEMS)

Welll....as you might have guessed......I have crashed it.....it was pilot error tho.....so in the process of rebuilding....taking the
dihedral mostly out and changed to taildragger. Should be done in a couple of days. Re-monocoted the hole thing, so far so good.

The real good pilots at the club I belong to fly WARBIRDS. I love them but am in no way capable of handling one yet....so........
I told them all I was redoing my Nexstar and making it a "WAR-DUCK". It is camo green. Watch for my WAR-DUCK thread when I
get it all done.....have lots of pics the share.
