Hey wings,

Either plane would have been ok IMO. I had a nexstar for 3 weeks b4 I got my SE kit. I flew it the other day for the first time and it is more forgiving on landing than my nexstar, even in nasty wind. The trainer would float too much with a little elev. The SE just glided on in for a 3 point landing. My best landing to date with any plane was with the SE. My buddy got a 4* and was doing good also until he flew across the sun and put nose down, but tht was his mistake not the planes. Good luck with it, youll love it.

I will post a pic of my SE when I get a chance.
