Welcome to my addiction[]

By the way you really made a good choice. The Nexstar itself is a nice trainer plane and flies great.. Just unplug the self righting junk and remove the things that are taped out on the leading edge and the flap things with the little holes in them.. Then the plane will fly really nice for you. I know that sounds crude, but I have trained a bunch of guys on Nexstars and I dont like any of that stuff that is supposed to make the plane "self righting".

Make sure you find a club and get some help. They will teach you how to fly for free on a buddy box and your all but 100% guaranteed to learn to fly without crashing. Its a lot more fun when you dont crash 5 times before you make your 1st successful complete flight.

Now that you got yourself a REAL R/C airplane, you need a workbench/shop to go with it.

Be ready to spend quite a lot of money! Once you start, man you just can't stop. Even though I've only been flying RC planes for a short time, I find it to be a lot of fun and very rewarding as well. You make that first solo flight successfully, and there's almost nothing like it. It costs the most m oney to get started in the hobby, but once you have good flight equipment (fuel pump, glow starter, etc.), a good TX, and a good plane, you are pretty well set for a while. Then you outgrow your trainer! It's great fun to fly, and you will no doubt enjoy it.
