It seems to fly just fine. Very stable, nice stall characteristics. I don't think you really can mess up bad in this plane. It seems like whatever you do it will correct itself. It did seem a little underpowered with the OS .46 but that might be because the motor was well used (this was the club trainer afterall) and was set to run pretty rich.

I will say that I have heard the same things about the plane I am building (Tower Trainer 40) which was only $60. So although the Nexstar is very nice it is also very expensive!!!!
