what do u think

To me it seems expensive for its size, you could buy a RTF nitro trainer for 300bucks, but thats just me, the flight times are appealing though.

From what i have seen the nextar trainer is the best deal. A guy at our club has it. It has a lot of cool features, a free flight simulator with it, and also it comes RTF with just a few minor Assemblies. This plane also costs around the high $200 range i think. If you look in the past reviews on rcuniverse there should be one on the nextar and all its components. Check into it, it may appeal to you.
