Hobbico NexStar ARF, Instruction Manual

Page: 7 / 32

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.
