We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model
Aeronautics) and a local R/C club. The AMA is the
governing body of model aviation and membership is
required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA
provides many benefits, one of the primary reasons to join
is liability protection. Coverage is not limited to flying at
contests or on the club field. It even applies to flying at public
demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the
Safety Code (excerpts printed in the back of the manual)
may endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training
programs and instructors are available at AMA club sites to
help you get started the right way. There are over 2,500
AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the AMA
at the address or toll-free phone number below:

IMPORTANT!!!

Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the
radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying near full-
scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over groups of people.

1. Your NexSTAR Select should not be considered a toy, but
rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very
much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance
capabilities, the NexSTAR Select, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage to property.

2. You must assemble the model according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so
may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases
the instructions may differ slightly from drawings or
sketches. In those instances the written instructions should
be considered as correct.

3. You must check the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

This is a new engine developed specifically for high
performance trainers and sport models such as the NexSTAR
Select. It is a .46 cu in [7.5cc] engine with two sets of ball
bearings offering the same performance as the well known OS
.46 FX. This new engine has been optimized to be easy to start
while offering great peak RPM performance. Once you have
earned your wings, you can install this engine on your .40 size
aerobatic airplane for wild aerobatics.

The NexSTAR Select is equipped with a high speed needle
valve extender/limiter to make engine adjustments safer
and easier. The extender/limiter has been set at the factory
to limit the movement of the high speed needle so that it
cannot be adjusted out of the optimum range. This way the
engine will always work at its peak performance without the
worry of engine damage. The extender/limiter will allow the
needle to be set from the leanest desired setting for safe
operation (fully clockwise) to the richest desired setting for
break in (fully counterclockwise).
