The Avistar Elite is the best, IMO. As for Nexstars being not good, I disagree. Setup and trimming are major factors in having a plane fly properly, and a Nexstar that is set up and trimmed properly will serve just fine as a primary trainer. The Avistar is better in the wind and way better when a beginning pilot is ready to learn some basic aerobatics though. I definitely prefer it at the windy field where I fly and have done training before.
