Default hobbico nexstar

Is the hobbico nexstar a good plane to upgrade to from an electric Park Pilot? Is it easy to fly? Is it durable? how good is it for a trainer for someone who has only had experiance with an electric park flyer?
Thanks!!!

This new trainer was just released so not too many of them are around as yet. I happened to see one at one of the LHS's in my area yesterday and was supprised to see it so soon.
For a trainer it has many innovative features and I can't wait for a student to come out to the field with one so I can ring it out.

Still testing mine....the only 'Con' so far is the nose steering is way too sensitive....other than that it appears to be a great deal. I've heard some say the AFS will wander into the sun's direction, but I've yet to prove that and we have a LOT of sun around here.
