Default Hobbico Hobbistar 60 Select RTF Beginner Thread.

Hello Guys, I am so very new to this hobby but I have learned a lot already, specifically from this forum. I feel it is my duty to pass what ever I have learned along to help others who are new and may have the same plane as I do. I hope you will benefit from this thread. I posted some of this information along in a previous thread but I left like we needed a thread to help with any ideas problems etc. on the Hobbistar. Please do not high jack this thread or get off topic. There are guys who need real help with their planes so we need to help them out with as much quality information as possible. In the photos below I fixed some out of the box problems that may give you fits or that you just didn't know was a problem. One shows where I had to put a double 90 degree bend in the throttle push rod because it was so bound up it made my servo buzz. The other is a hole (3/8" ) I drilled in the firewall to give the nose wheel push rod some room to maneuver. It was bound up pretty bad as well. Any other problem or ideas need to be discussed here to keep us new guys out of the dark.

I have to credit RC Ken for his wealth of knowledge that has guided me so far.
