The Nexstar is not on the list. I used to but RCKen about this because it was my trainer, and I loved it. It was all I knew at the time. It really is built like a tank, and with the training add-ons, it is very easy to get in the air and have slow and stable flight. After flying another high wing trainer, however, I now realize that there is a reason the plane is not on the list. RCKen has lots of experience and knows what he's talking about. Sometimes I want to disagree, and in the end I find that he is always right. I would choose something from the list. If you do get the Nexstar, I'm sure you will like it, because it will be what you know, and it does look great. There are other trainers out there really are more fun to fly though.
