The Nextstar is an O.K. trainer,many have learnt to fly on them.but I would go with the Hobbico Avistar if your going to use an instructor . This plane still handles like a trainer , but can also be very aerobatic . I teach with mine and also enjoy flying it alot. Good windy day plane.
The Avistar wont grow old on you fast , like a normal trainer , it is capable of doing many, many manuvers that a normal trainer wont.
