BenMK, I started with the Avistar/LA 46 about 10 months ago... It was
a Great Plane for me, and after I got the basics down, The Avistar took
me a little further into aerobatics.. She does need a little more speed for
landings than a normal flat wing trainer, But still lands and flys great!!
My Avistar will soon be on floats to continue giving me more challenges,
and I'll still be able to use to train others!! I don't think you can go wrong
with it!!
