I was wondering if anyone knows where I coudl get blueprints/plans for the nexstar. I woudl like them so I can fix my plane by cutting the right size wood parts to replace the old broken ones.

Since it is available only as an ARF, I would imagine that you will have to get them from Hobbico (good luck).
Just reproduce the parts from the busted up ones. that is why you pick up EVERYTHING you can find at the scene of the crash. If you don't have the part at all, then you'll have to improvise--make it look right.

The Nexstar is a copyrighted product of Hobbico. There are no plans available on the market for this plane.

Guess ill have to make do with what I have then

Just a thought on arf ,s what I do is cut out a spare plane from parts that are used to built I,ve now got 2 At6 Harvards 2 Cee Bee tiger moths but I,m looking for fuselage plan (tiger Moth) as lost in house move any one with one I,ll pay the frieght and costs to N.Z cheers Paul

Sorry to hear you have to rebuild. What was the cause of your crash?

You just learned the lesson of ARFs - no plans or information to rebuild. I have always build my planes, the great benefit is that I know how it was put together, what glues were used and I have every single set of plans and instructions for them. If I ever want to build from plans I can, and when I put these things into the ground I can find the plans and fabricate the parts with little improvisation.

Good luck, from what I have seen in your other posts your NexStar repair is well underway and you should be back up in the air in no time.

if you need to reproduce a wing rib or fuse former thats broken try stiff craft paper to make a template when it fits, your part will fit

On a trainer, if you make it look like it's supposed to look without adding too much weight to one side, it will fly just fine. Just get close and don't worry too much about it....it's a trainer. They fly in pretty much any condition.

Actually yesterday I just picked up all the wood and monokote to start fixing it. So I will be on that soon. I got alot of bad weather right now and I have to do some work to my land r/c stuff but I will start on the plane very soon.

When you get a plane with blueprints do you actually have to cut and make everythig yourself?

That depends. If you are truely building from plans then yes you have to cut everything yourself. But if you are building a kit then the parts are already cut for you. True builders plans and kit plans differ in that the kit plans usually don't have the outline of the crucial parts in them. Builders plans will have the outline of every part for the plane, and you have to cut that part yourself

Where are you located in Ontario - I am in Mississauga and fly out of the Oakville club.

I am in Chatham Ont. Hopfully within the next few years ill be living up that way.

I have a Nextar, anticipating the possibility of mangling the wing,I would think a wing of similar size& shape from any trainer kit would work. After all it is a trainer.
