brit,

do you have any experience with the nextstar, do you have any experience with towers trainer? I think its useless to get all those gadgets on a plane that you wont be flying forever and pay alot. With the price difference, yes you can get an OS .46 AX or a second plane. Training is simple. You go to the field, you buddy box, you fly and you come home with a plane, the nexstar, sheesh, i dont know, i didnt fly it and wouldnt know whats good or bad for a trainer, but i know that i am perfectly happy with the tower trainer. I have a gp easy sport now with the same tower engine and radio gear, and it works GREAT! And you must be blind not being able to coordinate this plane. IT has a red strip under its left wing. And if you cant tell from the front to the rear of the plane, boy are you gonna crash. I personally had no experience with the flight sim, and i learned in no time. I couldnt care less if there was a flight simulator. THe sim will only teach you how to crash, more then fly. <-- THATS JUST WHAT I THINK IT DOES, DONT HATE!

Just thought you'd like to know,

PS: I don't now one beginner who wanted a trainer and stuck with it. Every 5 posts or so, i saw a beginner posting up about bi-planes, war birds, its all there .Heck, Ive done it too, its just a process we beginners go through till we get to the area of the sport where we like.
