Ah the Nexstar. Only seen one of thoes. The autopilot is a nice feature. Does it have the LA 40 or the 46 FX engine in it? I put an FX in my Avistar and it's fast. That engine will be ported to my into my Tomahawk once it's finished. At least until I can afford a good four stroke. Check your prop size on it. It should have an 11x7 prop. If it only has an 10x6 get an 11x7. It makes more efficient use of that engine.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Make sure to attend the lessons too. I find that R/C sims aren't very realistic.

Yeah 11x7 is not as bad for a 46 Engine. I use A Topaz T-46, you can choose between 11x6 or 11x7, there´s not much difference, the 11x6 is a bit louder.

I just got a new plane, an ASW-20, 3.7 meters (like 11.5 Feet i think) Wingspan, holy plane, it´s funny, not too good for a four times loop or summat like that, but very interesting to fly.
It has a low weight of just 3.5 Kg (must be 7 pounds), so it sails very good.

I've got a new VMAR Piper Tomahawk and it's turning out to be a lemon. Everyone whose ever flown it has had problems with it. I might sell it and get something a bit nicer. I haven't even finished it yet but the building process is turning into a nightmare.
