Sirdank,

The tower deal is a great deal, the setup you have selected will more than set you up for success in the hobby. Once you become proficient at your first setup/plane, upgrade at that point. The PT-40/Super Tiger combo is an excellent start, (take the advice above get some spare glow plugs and props). The four channel Futaba will be fine, all the bells and wistles are nice to have but when your on a budget, (so many of us are) prudence will dictate. Not having all the bells and whistles will also have another advantage, you will have to learn how to install and adjust your servo/radio setup the old fashoned way, by installing your servos and adjusting the linkage mechanically. Many times when first starting out in RC we become dependant on technology (expo, dual rates, electrical end point adjustments and so on) and forget the basics about how to properly setup a model. Good on you, and good luck.

Steve
