RE: NEXSTAR ARF .....PROBLEMS...PROBLEMS
Well, there seems to be problems with a lot of Nextars coming out right now. All tend to veer right....Yes right when throttle is applied. If it veers in any direction it should be left. No, the nose wheel is straight. This problem also is visible in the air. Slow the aircraft down to Minimum Controllable Airspeed (MCA) and then apply full power. Aircraft yaws right....and if power is not reduced will do a flat right turn. This is our clubs introflight aircraft and instructors as well as the president flew the plane. Hobby Services was contacted and they had us return the aircraft (ARF). They sent new one and it did the same thing. I was out at the field today. Two new Nextar RTF were at the field, all had the same problem. Sounds like Hobbico has a factory defect on a "lot" comming from over seas and may need to address the problem. We have not put a incidence meter on the horizontal stab yet, but it looks like there is down incidence on the horizontal stab as well. Good luck. We have advised our students to return the Nextars.
