Hi,just decided to buy and fly the Nexa 0V10, Anyone have any comments or tips for building or flying this beautiful bird. I know war birds are a different animal, but I loved it from day one and don't want to get burned since war birds are traditionally HEAVY METAL. Also interested in any feedback on the quality and building of the kit.

Well i must say it is well built to start with. I lost the the one in the pics above due to my absent mindless on the radio battery LiFe going too low and it went in just as i was turning to final to land. Lesson learned. The second has had its maiden and im finishing out the details and graphics currently. The power system is listed in this thread and also in a thread on RCG. I went overboard on the retracts but i think they look the best for stock hardware.
I want to give a shout out to MRC support here as in the second one, i think one of the booms was build either on a Friday or Monday as when i landed on its maiden, the main gear mount broke as it was missing some triangle stock that is used to give the gear plate better support and additional load area was found missing. MRC sent another new boom in short order so im glad they still had stock available.
I have made additional decals to add to the Callie Graphics and as seen i changed the scheme a little with only covering changed being the top of the wing. Be happy to give further details and pics for you if you like.
Special note, i used MA 15x7-3bl on the first one and it was a little lacking so on #2, i went with 16x10-3bl and feel better. They are counter-rotating also.

Anyone that might have loose stab screws for the horizontal over repeated assembly could replace the plastic threaded inserts with these 4mm wood inserts with no modification. Knock the plastic ones out and then use a 4mm allen to screw these in. I did also find plastic thumb screws on Amazon
just like the stock ones incase those are needed. Being metal threads, im still able to secure the screws using the stock plastic screws with no worries of backing out.
