I currently am training on an Hobbico Nexstar .46 ; I've had 6 or so flights and it flies great. I'am learning quite quickly, and progressing with each flight (my instructor says I could solo in another week or so) ; One thing that is very helpful is a Simulator, doesn't matter the price, brand, or whatever, they'll do the same thing, and that is teach corrdination. Another thing is that Nexstar's are notorious for decals (not covering) pealing away ; this has happened to me many times (Just clean it w/ rubbing alcohol and CA it)
They're many other great trainers out their - RC Ken has started a list of good trainers and 2nd planes, its the 2nd from the top and is titled - looking for a trainer - whats available
