Ah yes the nextstar lol....i considered this thing... what with all its anti crash blah blah etc etc.....

man balsa scared the crap outta me no matter how much they claim this thing corrects its self in flight.. heck i even watched the videos...

i made sure and stayed away from expensive balsa planes but good and i still will ..

here is the thing..

i have two fields at which i can fly...
one at the top of a cliff.. soft off.. loads of bush below and boy is it deep.. the winds here is freaky.. high then low.. the bad thing about this field? its only suited for small park flyers however the freak winds? not at all for park flyers (strangely enough the F-27 did a mighty fine job there)

the other place aw man its wide open... the bad.... its a swamp

onelovely main dirt road for landings and take off but swamp on either side .... way i figure it


to learn first fly cheap... when your good they you can go balsa....

dude you wanna fly and you dont wanna spend much money... so your thinking

ok ill get myself a good easy trainer somethign thats big enough looks good and that ill wanna keep forever spend some good cash once and for all and be done with that

not at all a bad plan.. cept you cant fly yet.....

thats why i said flight sim to begin with.

if you dont wanna sepnd money on the sim .. get the free ones.. but what ever you do.. GET THE DANG SIM!

if you listen to nothing else... then at least take the advice wich Boomerang1 gave you and buy that slow sitck and fly in lite conditions.. i gaurantee it will be an eye opener lol.

you wont regret it... sure its small sure its ugly sure you dont wanna be caught dead flying that thing and anyone watching .. but the lessons it will teach you will be invaluable..

get a great radio and some servos with it to boot al la radio plus 4 servos for round $180 (they are sold together) or get juts a plane non computer radio for round $80
but that slow sitck and have your self some good clean risk free fun!

by the time your ready for a plane you wont think about that nextstar anymore. you will want something better.... heck i heard that the MKII 40 trainers fly better than any nextstar
i ahve no idea why.. but if they fly better and they are cheaper why not>?

xero,
