I really like what I have seen about the Nexstar, all the innovations makes it a very stable and forgiving airplane that would allow any beginner to succed very quickly at soloing. However, I get mixed feelings when I compare it to the LT-40, thats a very forgiving and stable platform without the additional innovations included on the Nexstar. I believe if Sig would add the removable flaps and the AFS system to the LT-40 it could possibly become the best trainer ever built, IMHO.
