New Product
ROCHOBBY 1100mm NXT Nemesis Racing PNP from Diamond Hobby!
Available now for pre-order! The all new ROCHOBBY 1100mm Nemesis NXT! This is the fifth plane in the ROCHOBBY racing series.
http://www.diamondhobby.com/airplane...sis-racing-pnp I was given the pleasure of setting up and test flying this new model from Jim and Frank over at Diamond Hobby. Let me tell you, the Nemesis is an absolute blast to fly. It is FAST and not for beginners. The Nemesis does well over 100mph, and I pushed those limits even more by adjusting for the highest possible timing with the factory ESC. The plane is rock solid and does whatever you tell it to do. Very very sharp and will get many looks at the field. My favorite is the whistling woosh sound at high speed from cutting through the air. Every moment of flying is a pleasure. Build time was less than 30 minutes. All that was required was installing the elevator halves (2 screws) & linkage, 4 screws on the main wing, and installing the prop and spinner.

I just got confirmation this morning from Jim at Diamond Hobby:
A sample is on its way for an official RCGroups review and to be honest, I can hardly wait! |

Oh, yes indeed. I've reviewed a few FMS models for Jim and they're amazing! This model looks to be a real standout.

Hello Matt,
the plane looks great - but I don't like the look of plastic-spinner. Could you measure diameter and length? Maybe there is a CfK-replacement on the market ![]() Are you happy with the 4s-setup? I have a lot of 6s3000mAh accus laying around - any idea whether they would be to heavy? (would need a motor with less kV for sure). |

Ready to race ... my Strega's motor was old and tired, so I replaced it with the slightly higher Kv NXT motor (and 10 x 10 prop), so we'll see which airframe is the quickest.

I started out with a 2600ma battery and I up 10 oz handing on the spinner to balance at 45mm. I installed a 2200ma and still needed over 5 oz . The problem is I can find a place to put the wt. How did you balance it and at what CG and where did you put the wt.

I have put together quite a few RocHobby models and this is by far the easiest to assemble. Very little to do. You can have it all together in about 15 minutes. Flies on rails on a 4S200-3000 pack and the flaps slow it down to a crawl for landing. Anyone else tried one out?

Yep, got mine recently and it flies great and FAST. The only issues I have is that it does not like to land when full flaps are deployed. Ran it off the end of the runway once and flipped it over putting some small dents in the top of the cowling near the prop marring that incredible looking foam very slightly. The foam on my plane is smoothest of any foam plane I have and looks almost like a composite plane especially after a couple of coats of polyurethane gloss clear.

I have about 40 flights on mine, I shot the whole airframe with gloss clear Krylon acrylic spray and it really sharpens up the looks and protects the paint from wear and dirt. I fly mine with 4s 3200 mah and am getting 6 minutes with power to spare. Great quality and flyer here!

I fly mine with a Thunder Power 2700 4s inserted into the plastic engine mount in order to get farther foward. I still had to add lead weight in the nose in order to get it to balance at the factory CG point. Flies great at this CG point but haven't experimented with any CG points behind this by taking some weight out of the nose.
