Default Looking to upgrade ! NexSTAR is old and boring now

Well i have pretty much aced the NexSTAR , I can everything i want with the plane so im bored of it , going to sell it and get something new and sporty . I have the lazy tiger with the .25 FX on it and i can do a lot of tricks but i want more . Like the CAP 580! I want a mid with that can do some serious tricks ! BUT i havent flown mid wing yet , only lower and upper , What do you suggest to start off with ? Local hobby shot advised me to go with the " DAZZLE " I'm not too sure what to do at this point ...let me know what you guys think .



Thanks

CitatioN10, i didnt sell my nexstar i just used all the hardware for an ultra stick 40 witch to this day is one of my primary flyers,im still in the learning curve and i own both a aero works 580 and a seagull extra,when im feeling a little edgy about my flying i use the stick and let it all hang out! when i fly my others i think i tense my self up to much at times because there such beautiful planes im afraid to wreck them.it works for me and ive been flying for a year and i still own the others in one piece. i usually bring one or the other with the stick.ill tell yah that OS46 on the stick is no slouch it moves right along and i can hover with it ... good luck

im still mastering my nexstar, but as iv said before i know im gonna get bored with it soon. my trainer suggested the tower kaos arf. wich i got. you can transfer all your parts from the nexstar into it. although i decided to keep my nexstar intact for training kids and freinds. (when i get good enough). i will probably buy a thunder tiger 46 to power it.

I just threw all my NexStar stuff into a Great Planes Easy Sport. I haven't flown it yet, but I am expecting a much sportier fly .

While the easy Sport is excellent, It's more of an intermediate aerobatic trainer.

I would have to second that Stik 40

Or you could go for Aerobatics AND looks and get a GP Extra 300
