This is the radio controlled, glow powered, ready-to-fly,
                 Hobbico NexSTAR Select .46 trainer airplane.
                         For Beginner Modeler/Fliers.

     With such features as AFS (Active Flight Stabilization), SpinControl
         Airfoil Extensions, SpeedBrakes Training Flaps and much more,
         no other trainer offers so much help for the first-time pilot.

  In addition to the airplane, radio, and engine, this package also includes
       a RealFlight NexSTAR Windows PC disc with transmitter interface
        to use with the included Futaba radio allowing the modeler to
        practice and perfect their skills without risking the airplane.

        MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NEXSTAR SIMULATION SOFTWARE:
                   Windows XP, 2000, Me or 98 Second Edition
        NOTE: Window 98 First Edition is not supported with the NexSTAR
                             simulation software
                 Intel Pentium 300 Processor or equivalent
               3D accelerated video card with 8MB (or more) RAM

       OPTIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NEXSTAR SIMULATION SOFTWARE:
                         Intel Pentium 600 or equivalent
  STRONG RECOMMENDATION of 3D accelerated video card with 16MB (or more) RAM

      NOTE: The NexSTAR disk included in this kit is NOT compatible with
              any version of the RealFlight Add Ons Volumes.

FEATURES: Construction: Balsa and plywood
          Wings: CenterCore Molded Composite Main Wing Rib maintains perfect
            alignment and includes a built-in aileron servo mount, wing halves
            are joined with a steel rod.
            Flat bottom high mount configuration
            One-piece, all wood precision airfoil with SpinControl Airfoil
            Extensions that provide lift even in a stall to keep the
            NexSTAR level and the pilot in control.
            PivotFlex Wing Mounting System fastens with one nylon bolt, a
            rubber retainer and pivoting channel absorb minor jolts of
            normal use, more severe jolts cause the wing to separate from the
            fuselage and escape the full force of impact.
          Airspeed Restrictor: SpeedBrakes Training Flaps attach to forward
            section of wing near fuselage and hold airspeed to a minimum to
            insure smooth landings, removeable as pilot skills increase
          Covering: Polyester based heat shrink, color scheme is white and red
            with silver accents
          Engine: Pre-installed O.S. Max .46FXi (7.5cc) with high-speed
            needle valve extender/limiter that limits the movement of the
            high-speed needle to prevent engine from being run too lean,
            engine is mounted on IsoSmooth Mount to isolate airframe and
            radio gear from damaging vibration
          Radio: Futaba 4YBF 4-channel FM radio with(micro) square trainer port
            AFS (Active Flight Stabilization) that actively searches for any
            signs of instability and takes immediate action to correct them.
            This system uses on-board electronic sensors that detect
            instability-just release the sticks and AFS does the rest.
            Sensitivity is adjustable as pilot gains flight skills.
          Landing Gear: Duraluminum SnapGear Quick Landing Gear Mounts
            lock in place with a snap and provide the strongest landing gear
            of any trainer, also easily removeable

            dual aileron servo trays for future upgrades as skills increase,

            in perfect alignment without tools
