Avistar was my first plane and I still have it. Aircore people say when they hit the ground they won't break. I am here to say they are right! "IF" you can get them off the ground.
The only aircore flight I have ever seen lasted about 6 seconds and the plane got about 4 foot off the ground before doing the most beautiful cartwheel I have ever seen and hey,,,,,,, It didn't break!!
They make great r/c cars.........not planes.
I recommend the avistar to any new pilot. They make great trainers and can do mild aerobatics when the new pilot improves his skills.
It is a great first plane.
