RE: Trash Planes
Last year, a club member that deals with ARF or RTF only trashed his Nexstar. He kept in the garage, and I've been bugging him about repairing it. Finally he gave it to me. I stripped it down completely, rebuilt the nose, repaired the tail feathers, recovered it, and now use it for demo flights. It made its debut at our last fun fly. It was fun to rebuild. The landing gear is slightly shorter than stock, and now its affectionately referred to as the "low rider". The third picture shows me giving a demo flight to a potential new member with this plane.
The smiles are what its all about!
