RE: Nexstar vs Avistar vs Magister

Thanks for the reply Bruce. I think the Avistar with a .46 AX and a 4- or 6-channel Futaba is the winner. I was looking into either:

Futaba 4EXA with 4 S3004 servos - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXKJD8**&P=0
OR
Futaba 6EXAS with 4 S3004 servos - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXHYK7**&P=0

These servos will fit the Avistar, correct? They also both have a trainer port.

Are there any other things I will need besides fuel? I know the AX needs at least 16% lube 5-20% nitro. (Go with 10%?) Anything else like after run oil, etc I don't know about. Will I need a starter box for it? My only experience with nitro is limited to a one-month stint on a 1/8th scale nitro buggy.

Thanks again!
