I'm a big fan of the HobbiStar 60 as a first plane. I ordered one as my first plane, but got impatient, and bought a pair of used SuperStar 40's a day later. I flew one of the flat bottom 40 a few times (7-8) and felt I was ready to try the HobbiStar 60. ''WOW..... this is much easier to fly!'', is what I thought after one minute of flight. It rolls out faster, climbs out better (more stable), and flew inverted better. (Yes, I flew a couple of inverted passes with the 40 the 2nd day of learning). I vote for the HobbiStar 60 RTF kit from Tower. GREAT first plane!

I know the OP has already purchased an Avistar but I won't pass up the opportunity to recommend the Hobbistar - again! I learned on it this year and it was a great trainer.
