Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Hobbico
NexSTAR ARF, the next generation in Radio Control
Trainers.You have made the right decision by purchasing a
“real” model airplane with the latest in aerodynamic and
assembly technologies. Once assembled and set up, the
NexSTAR will give you many hours of relaxing easy flying.
Under the guidance of an experienced flight instructor, all
you have to do is to concentrate on learning to fly.And after
you have mastered the NexSTAR, your engine and radio
may be transferred to your next model.

For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
Hobbico NexSTAR ARF, visit the Hobbico web site at

www.hobbico.com.

Open the “Airplanes” link, and then
select the Hobbico NexSTAR ARF. If there is new technical
information or changes to this model a “tech notice” box will
appear in the upper left corner of the page.

We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model
Aeronautics) and a local R/C club. The AMA is the
governing body of model aviation and membership is
required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA
provides many benefits, one of the primary reasons to join
is liability protection. Coverage is not limited to flying at
contests or on the club field.It e ven applies to flying at pub lic
demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the
Safety Code (excerpts printed in the back of the manual)
may endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training
programs and instructors are available at AMA club sites to
help you get started the right way. There are over 2,500
AMA chartered clubs across the countr y. Contact the AMA
at the address or toll-free phone number below:

IMPORTANT!!!

Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the
radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying near full­scale aircraft and avoid flying near or o v er g roups of people .

INTRODUCTION

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2

1. Your Hobbico NexSTAR ARF should not be considered a
toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions
very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its
performance capabilities, the Hobbico NexSTAR ARF, if not
assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause
injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

2. You must assemble the model according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so
may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases
the instructions may differ slightly from the photos.In those
instances the written instructions should be considered as
correct.

3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-class
condition, and a correctly sized engine and components
(fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components
so that the model operates correctly on the ground and in
the air.

6. You must check the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this
type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your
first flights.If y ou’ re not a member of a club, your local hobby
shop has information about clubs in your area whose
membership includes experienced pilots.

Remember: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

This is a partial list of items required to finish the Hobbico
NexSTAR ARF that may require planning or decision
making before starting to build.Order numbers are provided
in parentheses.

There are four different w a ys y ou can set up your Ne xSTAR.
The “standard,” most economical setup would be to use four
servos - three servos in the fuselage (for the throttle, rudder
and elevator) and one servo in the wing f or the ailerons.This
requires only a standard, 4-channel radio. The second
option would be to use two servos in the wing (one for each
aileron). Using two aileron servos will increase the roll rate
(for when you are ready to graduate to slightly more
advanced aerobatics).This option will require a Y-harness to
connect the servos, but a standard 4-channel radio ma y still
be used. The third option would be to “mix” the two aileron
servos electronically so the ailerons can be operated as
both ailerons and flaps (flaperons).Doubling the ailerons as
flaps adds another dimension to your flying regimen as you
will be able to execute super-slow landings and flight. The
use of flaperons will require a minimum 5-channel computer
radio for mixing the servos electronically. The fifth option is
for those who have a 5-channel, non-computer radio, but
still desire functional flaps.This will require a sixth servo to
operate the flaps separately. Instructions are provided on
how to cut the ailerons so the inboard portion can be
operated as flaps. All of these options may be done with
standard servos and the regular 500mAh-600mAh battery
pack that came with your radio (special servos or a larger
battery pack are not required).

The recommended engine size range for the Hobbico
NexSTAR ARF is .46 to .50 two-stroke or .52 to .56 four-stroke .
If an engine in the upper end of the size range is used,
remember that this is a model that is intended to fly at scale­like speeds, so throttle management should be practiced.Any
engine in the lower range will be able to fly this model with
authority. Therefore, the engines in the high range are only
recommended for modelers who fly at high altitude.

This new mount may look like other aluminum engine
mounts, but make no mistake, it is unique. The engine
mounting lugs are installed in rubber boots that absorb
engine vibration to protect your airframe and radio
components, increasing their life span. The IsoSmooth
engine mount works so well that you should check your
propeller for nicks or cracks, because with this mount, you
won't feel a thing.

The NexSTAR ARF is equipped with a high speed needle
valve extender/limiter to make engine adjustments safer
and easier.The extender/limiter has been set at the factory
to limit the movement of the high speed needle so that it
cannot be adjusted out of the optimum range.This way the
engine will always work at its peak performance without the
worry of engine damage. The extender/limiter will allow the
needle to be set from the leanest desired setting for safe
operation (fully clockwise) to the richest desired setting for
break in (fully counterclockwise).

The wings of most trainers are mounted with rubber bands.
This allows for some flexibility in case of a hard landing.
Rubber bands work well, but they are just plain ugly and a
mess. The PivotFlex Wing Mounting System combines the
looks of a bolt-on system with the flexibility of rubber bands.
The new system allows the wing to move under sudden
loads (such as a wing tip hitting the ground) and will release
the wing from the airplane under extreme loads such as a
crash—all that while looking great.

The EasyAlign Tail Mounting System aligns the stabilizer
with the fuselage and fin while tightening the tail bolts.The
tail bolts slide into blocks in the fuselage under the
stabilizer. As the tail bolts are tightened, both the fin and
stab are aligned and secured while strengthening the aft
area of the fuselage.No tools are necessary for installation.

To speed and simplify assembly, the Hobbico NexSTAR
ARF comes equipped with the SnapGear Landing Gear.
This new gear offers effortless and tool less main landing
gear installation. It takes only a few seconds to install the
landing gear and it can also be removed from the fuselage
in seconds.

The Hobbico NexSTAR ARF uses a three-line fuel line
system to simplify fueling and de-fueling.

The CenterCore wing rib is a nylon part that comes
preinstalled onto one of the wing halves.It performs several
functions: it aligns the two wing halves; it is a mount for the
aileron servo;the incorporated wing dowel holds the wing in
place; and it holds and aligns the wing bolt to the PivotFle x

™

Wing Mounting System. Joining the wing halves and wing
installation on the fuselage has never been easier.

These are the extensions that are installed at the leading
edge near the tips of the wings. These extensions were
developed by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration) to help light airplanes prevent stalls and
spins during landing approaches. That is exactly what they
do for your NexSTAR ARF. They slow down the airplane,
increase its stall resistance and prevent it from spinning, all
desired characteristics of a trainer airplane. The wing
extensions can be remov ed after you become proficient with
the NexSTAR ARF, for faster, more aerobatic performance.

The SpeedBrakes Training Flaps were designed to allow your
NexSTAR ARF to fly slower, reduce top speed and shorten
the landing approach. Thanks to these flaps, your NexSTAR
ARF will bleed off speed quickly when the throttle is reduced
so that long landing approaches are not necessary.
Additionally, the top speed is considerably reduced to make
the airplane easier to handle. These SpeedBrakes can also
be removed after acquiring some experience with the
airplane for faster, more aerobatic performance.
