Install The Tail Surfaces - Hobbico Nexstar select Instruction Manual

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 them out. You should not be able
to pull them out. If they do pull out, then push them back in
again until they are secured properly. Note: The legs may fit
a little loose inside the pocket. This is normal as long as you
are not able to pull the landing gear legs out.
Landing gear installation is complete.
Note: Should you ever need to remove the landing gear
from the fuselage, insert a screwdriver into the hole under
the fuselage farther from the leg you want to remove. Apply
light pressure to the tab inside the hole and pull the landing
gear leg out. Once the tab is moved, the screwdriver must
be removed to allow the leg to come all the way out. Do the
same with the other landing gear leg.
Note: If your landing gear does not insert easily in the
fuselage or it does not lock in, clean up any glue or paint
blobs that may be on the gear or in the mounting
mechanism. Insert the gear again and make sure it does
lock in.
Note: If your landing gear legs spread after a hard landing,
remove the legs from the airplane and bend them back to
the correct position with a vise. Do not try to straighten the
legs while installed in the airplane as that may damage the
Snap Gear Landing Gear mechanism.

Install the Tail Surfaces

For this section you will need:
1 Fuselage
1 Horizontal Stabilizer
(or stab)
1. Insert the horizontal stabilizer into the stab slot as
shown above. Insert the two nylon fin tail bolts half-way into
the bottom fuselage and into the stab to hold it in place.
Place the fin over the sketch found on the last page of the
manual and make sure the fin rods are bent at the same
angle as the ones shown on the sketch. This step is critical
to make the fin installation easier.
