Default RE: Which One?

Tito,
You won't be let down. I will vouch for the NexSTAR. I have about 20 solos on mine and it is awesome! I ran 4 tanks of fuel today for about 15-20 min. each. Not bad for after work. Anyway, the speed flaps it comes with can come off after the plane goes too slow for you. And the leading-edge wingtip extesions can also be removed for more instability (mild aerobatics). I wouldn't recommend hooking up the AFS (Active Flight Stabilization) because the conditions have to be perfect for it to function correctly. But you can sell that or just don't use it, I never have. That would only come in handy if you don't have access to an instructor. I would strongly advise against flying without an instructor. Just for the 1st few take offs and landings, because it needs to be trimmed out. I picked up a buddy box for $30. Now I can use it with my wife, daughter, or friends. Go have fun with whatever you decide!!!
