RE: New to RC aircraft

Unfortunately the Realflight version that comes with the RTF Nexstar is limited, it only gives you one aircraft (obviously the Nexstar).

By the way, YellowHawk, when using the sim I recommend...

RE: New to RC aircraft

Hi YellowHawk,

Good to hear you got the Nexstar, I bought mine just a few weeks ago. It's made about 6 flights so far and it flew beautifully.

I just wanted to inform you of a couple of...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Yes, because the fuselage is not as high at the rear.

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

Yeah I've kinda figured out I don't want to get my hand that close to the prop. The high speed needle is close enough for me, for now at least. Thanks for your concern davo.

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

OK I've decided I will probably just secure it with epoxy after all. Seems to be the best way, plus i checked the alignment of the horizontal stab to the wings and it doesn't even align when the...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

I dont have an o-ring but I do have sticky tape! I've wrapped it around the end of the screw therefore increasing the diameter to match that of the widest part. This worked in terms of securing the...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Yes in terms of the horizontal stab they act as alignment pins. The vertical stab has two threaded metal rods that stick through the holes in the horizontal stab and into the fuselage. When the...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Actually I've just checked it again. There is a small gap of maybe 1 - 2mm between the vertical fin and the fuselage. See pic.

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Yes, but I have to screw it in quite tightly to get the vertical stabilizer to sit flush against the fuselage. Once this is done, the horizontal stabilizer still moves.

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Sorry about the poor quality pic, but its the best I could do with the camera phone. Hopefully you can see that the rear screw protrudes further through the hole than the front one. Once again,...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Yes, the head of both screws sits firmly against the bottom of the fuselage. However, the other end of the front screw doesn't come up as far as the rear one, because that part of the fuselage where...

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

No, actually the opposite. The hole is too large, thats why i get the movement. If the hole was smaller, it would be same diameter as the TOP of the screw which means it would be a tight fit.

Thanks, I realise this will work but like I said I'd prefer not to glue it if possible.

RE: Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Ok, forget the vertical fin for now, thats not the problem. I've inserted the horizontal stab so the holes align with the holes in the fuselage. The holes are the same diameter. When the REAR...

Nexstar problem - Loose horizontal stab

Hey guys,

I'm still trying to set up my Nexstar and I've come across a problem when installing the horizontal stab. When installing using the screws provided the stab won't sit securely, but it...

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

Well, it turns out the most simple solution is the one that worked. I tried all sorts of things in the beginning and started trying to adjust the low end needle and just made things worse. Then I...

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

Its actually with the igniter off that the problem increases, not on.

Anyway I have already tried with a new glow plug, it seemed to help slightly but no huge difference. I'm about to run...

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

I have secured the fuel tank at the back with foam, and a paddle pop stick behind it to keep it secure. It's in there pretty tight.

Well the original prop is back on it. I assume the prop that...

Sorry I should also add that I did manage to smooth it out a bit at one stage, it was running half decent with the glow starter on, but when I took it off it just went really rough again. Since then...

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

I've tried adjusting the low end and and now I'm a bit confused.

I tried to lean it out but found that the screw would not turn clockwise which must mean it was pre-set to the leanest setting ,...

RE: Whats wrong with my nexstar's engine?

OK, thanks for that guys, I'll follow the break in procedure as stated in the manual.

Regarding the problem I'm having, is it likely that its just due to the engine not being broken in fully?

The engine that comes with the RTF version is already broken in at the factory.
