Hmmm in my opinion...from what I have heard from others ...The Nexstar is sort of a rip off. Its a trainer like any other but nicer. The problem with that is that we tend to outgrow our trainers quickly or crash them. So why spend the money. If i was to get another trainer I would totally get the Avistar. It can be fast and very aerobatic. If you intend to get into the hobby...dont buy the RTF package....buy everything seperate with an OS .46 AX or something similar. The bearing engine will grow with you. Good Luck!
