Like I said in my first post...I am not new to the hobby or flying R/C, just rusty. I was giving my opinions on the plane itself. I tried to get the broken bolt shanks out of the blind nuts tonight after I got home from work. Didn't happen. I pushed the blinds nuts out the back side of the firewall since I am gonna have to replace them now anyway. They came out very easily, obviously they weren't glued in as I would have done. I would like to ask if there is anyone here who has shimmed their Nexstar's engine mount though. What did you use and what thickness of shims did you use? My measurements show about a quarter of an inch difference from one side to the other so I am thinking a good place to start would be to cut it in half with enough washers to stak out about an eight of an inch. I hate having excessive thrust angle in a plane.

Oh yea, right now I am also building a spad type airboat and also building a homebuilt spad type model rocket with 'e' rocket moter. If I had some hosting I'd consider posting pics.
