Hobbico Nexstar front nose wheel assembly

by Brent Delman
(Shaker Heights, Ohio, USA)

The nose wheel (the front wheel and its arm attachment)is bent.

I can't find the part listed even with the manufacturer (Hobbico for the Nexstar RTF Trainer 68.75 wing span).

Do you have any advice on where to find a replacement. Is this a common problem? All the tri-pod planes have the one wheel in the front.

Looks like the nose comes with HCAA3742

Hi Brent,

It looks like the nose wheel comes with the landing gear set HCAA3742.

I found it here on eBay

Yes, this is a VERY common problem. Especially if you land in grass. That's why a lot of people convert their trainers to tail draggers after they get the hang of flying.

Heck, I even converted my ParkZone T-28 to a tail dragger. Doesn't look scale, but there's no more nose wheel problems!
