Rickles:
Do you have a Dual Ace? If you do, I will of course respect your opinion, but your last sentence leads me to believe that you are just repeating what you have read.

I have both the Twinstar and the Dual Ace and from my experience, the Twinstar is a better flier. The Dual Ace is a better twin trainer, because it will teach you how to deal with some of the handing problems you can run into with the more sophisticated warbird twins. The Twinstar is so forgiving and so easy to fly that it really doesn't prepare you for the harsher realities of twin flying.

The Dual Ace is faster, much faster, but it lands faster also. The Twinstar does much better aerobatics.

I don't have any experience with the Twin Stik.
