Well I'm sure there are other good trianer, but the Nexstar is definitly a good trainer I have and since then a flu others such as SupperStar 40 Arrow 40, Avistar Select
The only thing I did was to remove the droops and air speed breaks and I do not use the AFS. I also took out OS 46fx and install the new OS 46AX for more power,
I'm not an expert on this hobby but can't tell you how old I am but if I learn to fly at may age with this plane without crashing and go on with other planes The Nextstar thought me well. My son bought me an RV- 40 kit for Chritsmas, can't wait for sring to try it out I'm sure it will fly diffrently then a trainer. WHOOOPEEE???
