A second vote for the Superstar 60!

This plane is a lot bigger than the 40 sized trainers so is easier to see and is very docile in the air. Its not too big to get into an average car though, mine fits in my Mustang fine!

The Superstar is on sale now and is down to about $100 for the ARF. A complete package with radio and engine can therefore be had for not much more than the 40 sized trainers...

An Avistar at my field had the tail end ripped of on a "hard landing", doesn't say much for the strength....

I too had the tail come off on the Superstar, but at least I had a decent excuse, I put it through a tree! A bit of ply reinforcing and recovering and the plane is in the air again..
