Ah the Nexstar. Only seen one of thoes. The autopilot is a nice feature. Does it have the LA 40 or the 46 FX engine in it? I put an FX in my Avistar and it's fast. That engine will be ported to my into my Tomahawk once it's finished. At least until I can afford a good four stroke. Check your prop size on it. It should have an 11x7 prop. If it only has an 10x6 get an 11x7. It makes more efficient use of that engine.

Make sure to attend the lessons too. I find that R/C sims aren't very realistic.

Yeah 11x7 is not as bad for a 46 Engine. I use A Topaz T-46, you can choose between 11x6 or 11x7, there

I've got a new VMAR Piper Tomahawk and it's turning out to be a lemon. Everyone whose ever flown it has had problems with it. I might sell it and get something a bit nicer. I haven't even finished it yet but the building process is turning into a nightmare.
