Cool thanks guys iv spent a fair bit of time fixing her up. But the end result for the main body is not 2 bad....for a first time fixer and flyer.Im so excited to get back out there and start flying again there just to much fun!!!. Iv also learnt alot fixing it. Rubber mounts yep but may have to change that to harder rubber engine moves ever so sightly maybe a few mills see what happens ill reveiw everything before I hit the air.

This Apple isnt going to be falling.......form the sky.

[X(]And....................the Apple falls 29th Dec 2006....this time for good.



The plane was pulling hard to the right the engine must not have been mounted right as I had to correct it all the time .....im going to have a drink and order a new plane body.Mite see what else is out there not that I dont like the nexstar. The fun of flying and crashing. Dan

Thorough

FordPwr,

Sorry about your NexStar. I cracked mine up a few times and finally I bought the arf version to get a new fuse. $78 for the fuse separately - so I bought the ARF. Now I have extra parts.

Ouch.. Sorry to see that! What a nice job you did of reparing it though after the first crash! I hope you get another nice plane soon.

I've just purchased a Nexstar as my first RC plane and I plan on flying it in a couple of weeks after a bit more simulator practice. hope this doesnt happen to me! But if it does I think i'll have the same idea as you and have quite a few after-crash drinks.. hehe

Dan , sorry about your loss. Now shove off down town to the corner of Tang and DeLatour Streets, Coconut Grove , Darwin , and have a gander at a Boomerang 40. They cost less than a hundred , and they are a good trainer. Get your radio gear checked after that crash, and then you can fit radio and motor in that model , and you will be flying in no time flat. Also give thought to having someone give you some training flights too. And have a Happy New Year .
Bill.

Hey thanks for the advice will do was going to order 1 thro the net, $150AUS all up for the Nexstar from overseas at least then I would have spare parts for that plane. Ill check it out anyway and as for someone to teach me can't seem to find any help asked around msg this bloke who's meant to be the president of the Darwin Flying Club but no luck. I'm just keen to get out there again and start flying who knows i mite just get 5 mins flying in. lol. Do you know of anyone that flys here that could help me?Finding a big open area can some times be hard as well. The sims don't do the real thing any justis just help give you an understanding of how the plane flys. Cheers Dan
