Hi

I'm new to this site and fairly new to the hobby. For christmas last year i got an Avistar and in the past six months i flew the heck out of that plane with only four minor crashes, nothing unfixable.
Anyway, I am ready for another plane but I want a trainer. I could probally fly a little more advanced plane but i like flying trainers, they are just a load of fun to me ( and easier on my pocket ). So, hobbistar or superstar. Thanks everyone.

HobbyStar with the semi-symmetrical wing as you had with the Avistar.

I trained with a Hobby Star and I still enjoy flying that plane... I see it in my hanger as long as I don't trash it in a night fly or fun fly.

Get a seagull models PC-9... It's like a sport low wing trainer. I don't know what the airfoil is but i think this plane would be a great second plane. It also has tricycle landing gear like your avistar did.

I've had both planes. Still flying the Superstar (well it has been turned over to the kid). The Hobbistar was a great flying plane. I replaced it with a PT-60 with a Magnum 91 four stroke. I think the Hobbistar would be a fantastic second plane with a four stroke on it. I did put a bright orange stripe on the bottom of one wing on the Hobbistar. It made it much easier to keep track of orientation.

Either plane bro, the hobbistar with a 65 in it uses more fuel than my avistar a superstar though Enjoy

THe Superstar is less advanced than your Avistar --- soooo Hobbistar is the choice -- and a good on at that.
