Yeah, I'm training on a Nexstar and am progressing very quickly (My instructor says I can solo in 2 weeks, I've been flying about 1 week). The key to my success - a sim ; I feel that its a bit easier to fly in some respects than the sim. I was on the sim for 9 months (most of the time RF G3.5), and practiced at least an 1 hour a day. As you practice and get better on the sim, the easier it will become each training lesson. The Nexstar is a great plane, handles nice, and is just a joy to fly. My dad also learned on a Nexstar but, lets just say it reached its "experation date" before it got passed down to me ; so, I got to build an ARF, by myself w/ supervision from my dad. It was a pretty good to build and I really didn't have any major problems.
