Pivot Flexâ„¢ Wing Mounting
Most trainers' wings attach with rubber bands so they can "pop off" in a crash and avoid severe damage. Other feature wings that are bolted on for speed and simplicity. NexSTAR's unique PivotFlex mounting system combines the advantages of both. Only one nylon bolt fastens the wing quickly and securely; an ingenious rubber retainer and pivoting channel absorb minor jolts, but the wing can still separate from the fuselage to escape the full force of more serious mishaps.
CenterCoreâ„¢ Main Wing Rib
The main wing halves are securely joined with an extra-strong steel rod and perfectly aligned by the molded composite CenterCore rib with built in aileron servo mount.
Easy Alignâ„¢ Tail Mounting System
The blind routing of mounting hardware is what complicates tail assembly of other trainers. But the NexSTAR's Easy Align system guide parts into place automatically, producing a strong, straight tail with less time and effort—and without tools!
SnapGearâ„¢ Quick Landing Mounts
The SnapGear system provides the strongest landing gear in any R/C trainer...and it install in just three seconds! It locks into place—but can also be easily removed.
NexSTAR Precision Airfoil
Instead of equipping the NexSTAR with the same flat-bottom airfoil found on almost every trainer, Hobbico research and developed a unique new wing shape that's actually TWO different airfoils. The combination improves efficiency and lift for great stability at all speeds, and especially at slow takeoff and landing speeds.
SpinControl Airfoil Extensionsâ„¢
Here's another special NexSTAR safety feature that comes into play when flying speeds re so slow that stalls are possible. SpinControl creates a second airfoil with a higher angle of attach that continues providing lift in a stall to help keep the wing level and pilots in control.
SpeedBrakesâ„¢
The innovative SpeedBrakes flaps consistently limit airspeed while increasing stability—a read benefit for beginners when approaching the runway for a landing. But they're also removable, giving the NexSTAR a little extra "zip" when the beginner is ready to progress to the next level.
