I flew the nexstar for 2 years before selling it to another new pilot, great plane. With a instructor you will do very well.

The plane has a tendency to pull to the right on full throttle take off,you can shim the motor mount out to compensate I think 2 popsicle sticks worked preety good.

Also its a little sensitive on the ground, you can move the pushrod on the steering arm to help that.

Also make sure that the main gear lock in tight, you can also glue if you want.

One other thing its the rtf model dont trust the bolts on the tail, I recommend to epoxy.

But all these things can be checked by your instructor....Have fun its a beautiful plane
