In response to baxternick the Nexstar i agree is more expensive than other planes you can buy, but you have to realize that it comes with a flight sim for the Nexstar and other stuff like the AFS. Now like most here in the forums i believe they should sell it without the AFS and maybe it would be even cheaper. It has a lot of cool features like speed flaps and airfoil extensions that make it a very stable plane to fly for a first timer. In other words, you get what you pay for!!!
