The best thing about the Nexstar is the top-quality O.S. Max ball-bearing engine. I'm so glad they found a way to remove it!

Seriously, I would be more interested in the Electristar than the Nexstar EP for the same reasons that I think the Superstar .40 glow trainer is a better value than the Nexstar Select RTF .46 glow.

With the Nexstar, you're getting a really large wing chord that doesn't turn well in moderate breezes. You're paying for air brakes and wing pods that you don't really need. You're paying for an Auto Levelling System (ALS) that only works well if you fly only at noon.

The Electristar and the Nexstar EP offer very similar brushless power systems, and the Electristar also comes with the simulator included in the bundle. The Electristar is a cleaner, better flying airframe and you don't have to disconnect the ALS to take it flying.
