Default RE: trainer

Just to add what bubba gates said,
The nexstar is the most expensive trainer out i think. I know of alot of electric planes that would be good. But for glow some good options would be:
The hobbico Avistar Select RTF:

The Hobbico SuperStar Select MKII:

The tower hobbies select mkii(same as superstar bu more generic. It is still a great plane.):

Now, the Avistar is a very aerobatic plane for a trainer. The superstar is also aerboatic. The nexstar is ok.. though it is a very clam plane that will not do much. You will also need to get several other things when you get a plane including:
Fuel pump
Fuel
Glo plug ignitor
Extra prop
Extra Glow plug
Chicken stick or starter
Filling station

On some of the planes listed such as the Nexstar need an electric starter. And all of the items listed above and be bought in one pack for 50 bucks.
