By the way, the Nexstar Select is an RTF and not an ARF. On an ARF the buyer has to provide and install the radio and electronics and perform more assembly than on the RTF.
Also, if you get an instructor, disable the AFS system. It's more of a nuisance than a help. The wing gadgets you can keep if you insist but I don't really care for them either.
