Overview
T-34C Turbo Mentor 1560mm (61.4") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1020-001
The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor is an American propeller-driven, single-engined, military trainer aircraft derived from the Beechcraft Model 35 Bonanza. The earlier versions of the T-34, dating from around the late 1940s to the 1950s, were piston-engined. These were eventually succeeded by the upgraded T-34C Turbo-Mentor, powered by a turboprop engine. The T-34 remains in service more than six decades after it was first designed.
The Nexa T-34C Turbo Mentor is a .50 size electric or gas option scale series warbird with a 1560mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes flaps, painted pilot and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. Impress at your flying field with this iconic stunner!

Added a 60 brushless 500 kv motor with 100 amp spektrum ESC Took the plane for the maiden this morning and it was a great flying plane Needed right aileron trim but flight went really well. Put a hatch latch on to keep canopy in place and several adjustments to install retracts on the main gears. missing several parts but had enough too finish build All in all the plane is a great flying plane instructions only gave 1 setting for ailerons and elevator which I had to add additional rates and expo

From my perspective the construction of this ARF is good quality, the hardware provided is good and the instructions are adequate with a couple of exceptions mentioned below. This is not a kit that I would recommend for a first time ARF assembler but should not be a problem for those a bit more experienced. My plane is set up REAFFTG on a 10 channel Rx, with the three extra channels being used for nose wheel steering, thrust reverse and ASX3/SAFE control. • As discussed by others, the primary issue while assembling this ARF is that the steering linkage for the recommended nose gear is on the right side (unchangeable) but the assembly directions assume that it is on the left. Looking at the problem, I saw three possible solutions: o My initial plan was to get a nose retract with steering on the left side. I purchased the Eflight 25-46 Size retract set (EFLG330) for this purpose. I found that the Eflight gear would fit in this model with minor modifications, but the Nexa nose strut does not fit the Eflight nose retract. (The mains do fit.) I decided to save the all-metal Eflight retracts for use in case the lighter plastic Nexa gear fail. o I also looked at the possibility of moving the rudder servo to the right side of the model and putting the elevator on the left. There is adequate access inside to move the linkage tubes, but this would necessitate a shorter rudder servo arm due to limited space between the servo and the side of the model. o I opted for a dedicated nose wheel steering servo as others have done. Mine is located just aft of the joiner tube between the elevator and rudder servos. Instead of using a Y cable with the rudder servo, I put the NWS on its own channel. This allows the nose steering to be trimmed separately from the rudder. The NWS channel is set up with a mix from the rudder that is only active when the landing gear switch is down. This keeps the nose wheel from turning when retracted. • A smaller issue with this kit is in regard to the battery compartment. If retracts are used, the nose wheel raises through the floor of the battery compartment when the gear are retracted. As a result, any battery (or fuel tank) mounted directly to the floor of the battery compartment would interfere with gear retraction. My solution was to build a false floor in the compartment using lite ply. • On my model, there was a lot of paint on the inside of the wing T-nuts, making it very difficult to mount the wings the first time. • As a result of the bevels on the flaps, they will only deploy down on this model. This prevents mixing the ailerons to the flaps for increased role rate. Not a big deal, just FYI. • The recommended servos are a little large for the openings cut in the kit. Easy fix with a file. • I really wish that the plastic pieces for the horizontal stab leading edge extensions were better quality. From a distance they look nice but up close you can see that the edge that is glued to the fuselage is curled and will not sit flush.

The build was a little more complicated than some of the others but it is worth the trouble. It is important to understand that this plane needs a separate steering servo, eight channel receiver and good retracts and struts. I have flown it about 10 times without problems.

The overall quality is low and the very poor instruction manual that doesn't match the actual kit are only part of this ARF's Problems. Please note the attached screen shot of the nose gear that I have high lighted to show the offending plastic steering arm and it's set screw which interferes with retraction. Also because its plastic the set screw can't be tightened enough to avoid the strut turning from the stress of taxi, takeoff and landing. See my earlier post.
