Well after only about 6 flights with an instructor and prolly about 200 or 300 hrs on the sim, i did my first solo flight today with my Nexstar.... and as a congratulations to myself i bought a P-51 Miss America... was too good of a deal couldn't pass it up....

Well Congratulations are in order.
Fly the heck out of that trainer before you try the P-51,
If it where me I would take at least one more step before the warbird, like a 4 star or something similar.
Anyway, Well Done.

Good job, i would get at least 50 flights on that trainer before you fly any other plane, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have your instructor buddy box you with it,
Good Flyin

yea i don't plan on flying the p-51 anytime soon, i might take it out and just display it for our warbird fly-in comming up. but im gonna fly my nexstar for a while prolly take off the lil add ons for the wings. and i've heard the 4 star is a pretty good second plane. Thanks RCKEN Don't really plan on fishing anytime soon or using it for a liner LOL

Congrats, now the cord is cut and you can fly when you want to.
The P51 Miss is a nice plane. What engine are you going to put on it?
I have 2 kit built TP Corsair .60, I have yet to fly. Instead after I had flown the covering off my trainer I built a 4* .40. and this plane has taught me a lot. I then went to a Twist for some 3D training. and have been flying my SkyBolt for a month now.
I guess what I`m trying to say is, if you go from your trainer to the Miss , you well miss out on valuable training that a good second low wing plane gives.

yea i don't really plan on jumping right over to it yet... and the p-51 already has an engine its a Magnum 1.08 2 stroke... the only thing i need to fly the Miss, is a 2.4 Reciever for so i can add it to my spektrum...

Congrats!! Great feeling ain`t it? REALLY want to agree with everyone who recommends a step between the Nextstar and the `51. 4* is indeed a great choice for a first low wing, tail dragger. Heard good things about the H9 Pulse as well. If you want a trike gear, the WM T-34 iis a good one. Don`t know if you plan to keep your trainer, but most folks who didn`t seem to end up regretting not keeping them. I kept my Avistar and have always been glad I did.
