Listen up, your not going to stay on the traienr forever, even though its incredibly fun. Go for the cheapest one, ie the Tower Trainer. Its great, cheap, and will have you soloed in no time. For 250, you cant go wrong, for 399, for the nexstar? (Thats the price right?), i mean comon, youll save a bundle and get a new plane along with the trainer as a step up.
