I love to see that on the nexstar. Good job your boy must love it. Did one myself after a very slight stall. Took out the dihedral/plastic brace and made it a tail dragger. Added a little extra rudder and elevator and covered in monokote.
I call it the "Next" Star.
frenchie79,
That is a good looking plane. I almost removed some of the dihedral, but my 10 year old daughter wants to learn to fly. So I decided that leaving it in for now was best. She needs a little more time (and patience) on the sim. My cousin wants to convert his to a tail dragger. I can't wait to show him the picture of yours! Yea, my son like's it alot, and can't wait to go flying, maybe this Sunday, I hope.
When you removed the center brace, did you add in a wooden dowel to the LE to take it's place? Looks like a couple of plastic bolts holding on the rear. Really cant tell for sure. Could you please give a brief detail on how you did that? Or maybe some pics if you have them?
Thanks,
Pete
