Also learned on the Nexstar, I removed the AFS and covered the hole with Monocoat. I used the speed brakes and droops and had no problems and weaned myself of them as I felt comfortable. I have a club and field with no one interested in instructing. So since I had about 4 months on G2 I soloed day 1 with it. It's had its bumps due to poor decisions when the engine stalled due to being far to rich of mixture (remove the needle valve limiter) but both of my crashes where very repairable without buying replacement parts. The plane flies well even today but collects dust due to me flying my Goldber Piper GP Dazzler and CoroPlast SPAD. Other planes in project phase need more money.
