From personal experience with the Avistar, I like it because it has a semi-symmetrical wing. Most trainers have a flat bottom wing. The semi-sym wing will allow you to perform aerobatic maneuvers a bit better than the flat bottom. Before I get blasted - I have an LT-40 (kit) - and with enough power / correct prop I can do many different aerobatic maneuvers (loops with a snap roll at the top are kinda fun). The big BUT is that the Avistar will allow you to do them ''better'', more easily.

And it handles the wind better in my opinion thus giving you more stick time.
