The avistar elite is awesome to start flying again. I bought one after 10 years out of hobby and is great to get back in it. BTW The Tactic 6ch radio it comes with is very good as well. The only thing is to buddy box you need two tactic transmitters because it is a wireless seup fo trainer function. if you can do that or do the old transmitter pass off. i personally knew i was getting more than one plane so i bought a tactic ttx650 computer radiao as well. Very eay to use and every feature that jr or other brands have. Havent had any issues with the tactic systems.
