What I suggest for you to do is talk with your club members and instructors and see what they say is a good trainer. If the majority of the club learned on a Nexstar and have experience with a Nexstar then go with the Nexstar. I got my Nexstar because the club training chairman recommended it to me and when I went to the field I always saw someone flying a Nexstar. Whatever you decide to do have fun and enjoy!This is a fun and addicting hobby!
