  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 21 Check the Controls 1. Get the frequency clip from the frequency control board at your fl ying site. 2. Mount the wing to the fuselage with the nylon wing bolt supplied with this kit. 3. Turn on the transmitter and receiver. One at a time, operate each control on the airplane using the sticks on the transmitter. Make certain each control is responding correctly. This must be done before every fl ight. There are several types of malfunctions that can be discovered by performing this elementary task, thus saving your model! Range Check the Radio A range check must be performed before the fi rst fl ight of a new

If there is no club or experienced R/C pilot nearby, it would be worth even a long drive to fi nd one–if only for just a few fl ight lessons (then you’ll have an idea of what to expect). If there is

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 19 ❏ 3. Point the nose of the airplane down. The elevator should move up. ❏ 4. With the airplane level, point the right wing up. The right aileron should move up. ❏ 5. With the airplane level, point the left wing up. The left aileron should move up. The amount of correction the PA-2 will induce on your servos will depend on the gain setting of the unit. The higher the gain; the larger the correction. If any of the corrections made by the PA-2 are in the wrong direction, you will need to reverse the correction direction using the corresponding reversing s

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 11 ❏ 2. Insert the vertical stabilizer into the fi n slot as shown above. During installation, make sure the rudder control horn is below the elevator so that it does not interfere with it. It may take a little maneuvering to slide the aft fi n rod in front of the wood block in the fuselage slot. ❏ 3. Slide the two nylon fi n bolts into the bottom fuselage openings and through the stabilizer holes. This will align the assembly. ❏ 4. Tighten the bolts until they fi t snug against the bottom of the fuselage and hold the stab securely in place. Note: Overtightening these bolts will damage the nylon threads, wooden structure and ma

Install the Landing Gear For this section you will need: 1-Fuselage 2-Landing Gear Legs ❏ 1. Slide one of the main landing gear legs into the landing gear slot as shown above. Push it in until you hear a “click” or until it does not slide in any more. Note: The two landing gear legs are identical, so it does not matter which one you install on the left side or right side of the airplane. ❏ 2. Install the other landing gear leg on the other side of the fuselage the same way. Once they are both installed, apply a light force to pull t

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 20 FINAL PREPARATIONS Now the plane is assembled, but there are a few things that must be done before it will be ready to fl y. You must carefully perform all of the following procedures. Gather the Necessary Tools When you are ready to head out to the fl ying fi eld, there are some items you’ll defi nitely want to have on hand. The most important items include: • Support equipment – extra battery packs, chargers (for radio and motor batteries), propellers. • Tools – You won’t need every tool you own, basically just any tools that you used to assemble the plane. 1-#2 Phill

  • 6 A GUIDE TO THE NEXSTAR EP SELECT FEATURES Brushless Power System Though electric R/C fl ying has been around a long time, brushless motor technology has renewed interest in the hobby for old-timers and sparked a whole new generation of R/C modelers. The brushless motor used on the NexSTAR EP Select is a Great Planes RimFire ™ 42-50-800. Deatils about this motor can be found at

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 13 steering should be in the third hole out on the servo arm, and the aileron pushrods should be in the third hole out on the servo arm. If the pushrods are not connected to the servo arms as described, remove the nylon connector, insert the pushrod in the correct hole, and then reinstall the nylon connector. ❏ 4. The pushrods should also be installed correctly in the control surface’s control horn. Remember that in step 3, page 12, the rudder and elevator control rods were installed on the rudder and elevator control horns using the third inner hole on the control horns. After connecting the pushrods to the control horns, remove the labels. ❏ 5. IF FLYING WITH AIRFOIL EXTEN

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 14 Check Control Surface Directions The second thing that has to be done is to make sure all the control surfaces move in the correct direction. If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo reversing function of the transmitter (consult the radio system instructions included with this kit), to reverse the servos connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained centered. Adjust if necessary. WARNING: Run the motor outside only, and never run the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes. Keep these items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, A cell balancer is highly recommended for the battery packs listed above: ❏ Great Planes Electrifl y ™ Equinox ™ Cell Balancer 1 to 5 (GPMM3160) A suitable charger is also required: The Great Planes PolyCharge4 ™ (GPMM3015) is designed for LiPo packs only, but is able to charge four LiPo packs simultaneously. The Great Planes Triton ™ 2 (GPMM3153) charger will only charge one pack at a time, but is capable of charging NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and lead acid batteries. Optional Supplies & Tools Here is a list of optional tools mentioned in the manual that will help you prepare the NexSTAR EP Select for fl ight.

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 7 PivotFlex ™ Wing Mounting System The wings of most trainers are mounted with rubber bands. This allows for some fl exibility 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 fl exibility 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–

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 24 ❏ 4. Connect both servos to the “Y” harness. Make sure the “Y” harness exits through the hole in the center of the wing. Use the strings pre-installed inside the wings to pull the servo leads. Install the aileron servos into the trays. ❏ 5. Install the aileron control horn (not included) on the aileron as shown above. Make sure you use thin CA to reinforce the holes in the aileron. ❏ 6. Cut the servo arm as shown above. Use a 6" [152mm] pushrod, a clevis, clevis retainer and Faslink to make the aileron pushrod. ❏ 7. Set-up your new dual servos on your radio to have the same aileron throw as th

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 16 Balance the Model (C.G. - Center of Gravity) More than any other factor, the Center of Gravity (C.G. a.k.a. balance point) can have the greatest effect on how a model fl ies and may determine whether or not your fi rst fl ight will be successful. If you value this model and wish to enjoy it for many fl ights, do not disregard this step. A model that is not properly balanced will be unstable and possibly unfl yable. At this stage the model should be in ready-to-fl y condition with all of the systems in place including the motor batteries. ❏ 1. There is a decal with two

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 17 To know if the sun is above 25 degrees in the horizon, place the fuselage roughly 90 degrees to the sun and then look at the shadow of the wing on the main landing gear. If the main landing gear is completely inside the wing’s shadow, then it is safe to fl y with the PA-2 module adjusted to the desired gain. If any sun hits the main landing gear, then it is best to set the gain of the PA-2 to zero or to disconnect it. Flying with the PA-2 module active under this condition may produce less than desired

  • Hobbico NexSTAR EP, 12 SET-UP Now the plane is assembled, but there are a few things that must be done before it will be ready to fl y. You must carefully perform all of the following set-up procedures. If possible, have your fl ight instructor assist. If you have not yet charged the batteries, you may still proceed. However, as the batteries have not yet been fully charged, they may not provide enough power to make it all the way through the set-up procedures. If the batteries quit working, set your tools a
