Have had a Nexstar since last Feb. and I love it .Fly it 5/6 times a week. The first thing I did was disconnect the AFS and remove the speed brakes. In my opinion if you are learning to fly the right way (with an instructor) you should learn how to recover from bad situations not have the plane do it for you, that won't help you learn. To me it's a great plane and very stable in flight. It will do some aerobatics like roll,s loops and inverted flight but slowly. Which makes it fun for a beginner.
That's my opinion everyone has one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
