RE: Avistar or Lt-40??
Another Avistar vote. A good 46 up front and it`s quite a capable plane. Still fly mine regularly after solo with it four years ago. I fly other sport and semi-scale planes, but fly the Avistar when I just "want o relax and just fly". Since you`ve already flown before, the Avistar will also probably hold your interest better than a more stable, flat bottom winged trainer.
