The wheels are already on the gear so that completes the gear installation. Simply push the gear into the slots until you hear it click and lock in place.

(Important note: Always seek a qualified pilot before attempting to fly your NexSTAR or any trainer)Ĭompletion of the fuselage is also simple and quick thanks to the motor and radio already having been factory installed. Fortunately once you get to the field the NexSTAR has a wide array of features to ensure your success.

You can charge it up and take it out to the field and be flying the NexSTAR in no time at all. The plane is EASILY assembled in 20 minutes or less from the time you open the box. The NexSTAR comes ready to take on the abuse a beginning pilot might toss at it.įor the beginner the NexSTAR represents a practically foolproof path to becoming a successful pilot. There isn’t a single decal that needs to be applied! Upon inspection everything appeared to be glued well and very sturdy. The trim is already applied before you take it out of the box. The Hobbico NexSTAR is constructed of wood and is covered by heat shrink film. I’ll also go over the very brief assembly process for this plane but please don’t blink or you will miss it! So you ask what is all the fuss about? What separates this first time trainer model from the rest of the pack? Well, I’m going to explain what the NexSTAR is all about when it comes to features and then show you how these features help the beginner.įirst off I’ll go into a general light overview about the NexSTAR and then discuss later in the review more detail about each specific feature. With its breakthrough features such as anti-stall/anti-spin control extensions, pivot-flex wing bolt mounting system, automatic flight stabilization (AFS) and more it is no wonder there are several patents pending on technology used in this model. The Hobbico NexSTAR is perhaps the most innovative trainer model to hit the market in history.

Prop: Hobbico Propeller 11×5 NexSTAR Select If only I had a trainer like this available to me when I was learning a few decades ago. Also my son is just starting to become interested in trying his hand at flying so the NexSTAR seemed to be just the ticket. Normally I would not be inclined to review any trainer aircraft as I am well beyond that stage in my flying career however this one was SO interesting and looked too cool I just could not resist. “The NexSTAR is such a great way to learn to fly that we guarantee your success! As long as you train at an AMA-chartered club with a qualified, club-designated instructor, if you crash before successfully learning to fly, we’ll repair or replace it with any Hobbico trainer of up to equal value…FREE!” Oh…let’s not leave out the kicker which is Hobbico’s success guarantee. All this plus much more will be covered in this in-depth review of this one-of-a-kind trainer. The plane includes fully re-chargeable batteries and a top of the line OS motor. They have included a flight simulator so you can actually fly the NexSTAR on your computer without risking your model. There are aerodynamic features that keep the NexSTAR from stalling or spinning as well as speed brake flaps to keep airspeed down. This Hobbico NexSTAR Select 46 size trainer aircraft sports a plethora of unique new features and innovations that have never been seen before in this hobby on ANY trainer. 46 size trainer has just changed ALL of that. Each one is usually a derivation of whatever has come before it without much innovation to truly set it apart from the rest of the pack. Every year there are several manufacturers who come out with new models of RC trainer aircraft.
