I've never flown the Nexstar with the stabilizer. I tried it on the simulator and absolutely hated it.

I realize the AT6 is a totally different beast than the Nexstar, and I am sure most of it is mental. But, to me, I'd rather fly something more responsive. Not to say the Nexstar is bad, because its a great plane, and I think it served its purpose well.

But, maybe I've just gotten to the point that its time to retire it to someone who really needs it.. I may keep the engine and the electronics and put it into something else..
