Default RE: nexstar ep

The only weakness I could see was that it seems a little heavy and under powered at take off. Once it gets going, it flies fine but it lacks in acceleration, take off roll was long and even then initial flight and climb was a little wobbly. Reading the manual it states that "After initial flights the 10x5E propeller can be replaced with a 10x7E for more power". I will certainly do that even before my next flight, it is easier to have the power and not need it than to need it and not have it.


This is normal. My avistar needs a lot of time for a stable airspeed or I stall and crash (happened two times [:'(]) but I’m sure this is because of my OS. LA 40 that is very weak due to a leak in the crank case (or whatever you call it). I’m sure once you get a 10x7e it will be over. Thanks for your input biker joy
