I've taught several new pilots on the Tower Trainer and it is a very good platform. I agree with Dakoris73 concerning the landing gear. The mains will typically spread even after several good landings. You'll see the tail starting to look a little low. Just carefully bend them back in and you'll be all set for a few more landings. The rougher your field, the more often you'll have to fix the gear. If you're lucky enough to have a "putting green" runway, you may not ever have a problem. Happy flying!
