If you need to change your propeller, follow these instructions.
For this section you will need:
❏
1. Take off the spinner cone. Remove the propeller nut
and washer. Install the new propeller, propeller washer and
propeller nut on the crankshaft.
❏
2. Align the propeller with the marks on the spinner
backplate and then tighten the engine nut securely.
❏
3. Fit the spinner cone to the back plate, then use a
Phillips screwdriver to tighten the spinner screws snug but
not over tight.
Your new propeller is installed
After you feel comfortable flying the Hobbico NexSTAR
Select and you want to improve its high speed performance,
the first thing you can do is to remove the SpeedBrakes
Training Flaps. Remove the six screws that hold them in
place. The NexSTAR Select was optimized to fly with the
flaps on, so if you remove them, you will have to re-trim the
elevator. Without flaps, the NexSTAR Select will try to pitch
down (nose down) until you re-trim it. Without the
SpeedBrakes Training Flaps, the airplane will fly much
faster at any throttle setting and longer landing approaches
will be needed. Also, the NexSTAR Select will not slow down
as quickly when the nose is pointed down and stall speed
will increase slightly.
The second thing you can do to improve the high speed and
aerobatic performance of the Hobbico NexSTAR Select is to
remove the SpinControl Airfoil Extensions. These extensions at
the leading edge of the wings are held in place with tape that
can be carefully removed. Once you remove these extensions,
you will need to re-trim your elevator to align it with the
stabilizer. The SpinControl Airfoil Extensions produce the
opposite effect than the SpeedBrakes Training Flaps in pitch,
so if you remove both, the net pitch effect would be almost non
existent. After you remove these extensions, the NexSTAR
Select will be faster and able to spin and snap. Also, the stall
speed will increase slightly.
Dual Aileron Servos.
The Hobbico NexSTAR Select comes equipped with dual
aileron servo trays for dual aileron servos. If you wish to use
flaperons you will need to upgrade your radio system to 6
channels. To install the dual aileron servos, use the following
instructions.
