Chris/Mike/Whomever wrote the bit about the bad bitds of AFS, I don't think your read my whole post. I am getting the Nexstar for the very reason that I am starting to doubt whether I will be able to find an instructor and will most likely be doing it on my own. I am aware that AFS can lead to bad habits and such, I didn't plan on letting it do the flying, its just nice to have a net. Regardless if the ARF version doesn't come with it, its a moot point, as that's the version I'm getting.

Thanks for the link re: AFS Chuck, I knew there were others out there, but hadn't found any. I probably won't buy one if it doesn't come with the plane.

Cheers,
