Hey all
Same question looking for similar advice.
I'm coming from a hobbyzone [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HBZ4700]Firebird Phantom[/link] 3 channel plane. I've got about 30+ flights on the thing (with no ACT aid) and I'm beginning to feel bored flying the thing. Also, I have about 20+ hours of flight time on realflight G4 and I've gotten pretty used to 4 channel planes. What would be a safe but challenging step up?
If you have G4 check out and fly some of the planes on their. I like the Nexstar the best and its a good trainer, but buy the ARF instead of the RTF you won't need the basic sim that comes with the RTF if you have G4 or access to it. The other reason not to buy the RTF is the AFS Active Flight Stabilization, I don't like this system it doesn't work very good and it gave me to many problems.
Well i just checked the price of similar gear for the Nexstar and the RTF version and its only $20 difference so I guess its up to the buyer.
