Default RE: Hobbico NEXTSTAR 46 RTF impressions

The ARF alone is $149. For all that comes with the airframe... thats a deal. The other 99 dollar arf trainers are good too. The SIG Kadet 40 is a favorite too. I do like the optional flap set up with this one. After I let my daughter fly it a while, I will pull are the un necessary stuff out and add the flaps.

I actually ordered another set of gear after I get the plane and the fuse slide mount to intall forward. That way I can drop the nose wheel out, and add a second set of mains forward for floats with a quick change when we go to the lake house.

Agree to remove the "gyro", droops, and brakes. It is a very good plane but overpriced in my opinion. We have used them to train folks and they work good but the same can be said for a Tower trainer, Hobbico trainer, etc... at a much lower cost.
Put it together and enjoy it. It makes a great ski and float plane too !
