I just wanted to say that I took my nexstar up for the first time with and instructor today!!! ...I flew for about a half an hour in total, just flew the basic flight pattern making left hand turns....no landings or takeoffs yet, but I must say the nexstar flies great!!!!!! it really handles well and after about ten minutes of flying the nerves left me.....I'm just really happy I got to go home with a plane still in one piece....hahahaha....
