There is no "Tower Hobbies RTF". It is an ARF with "recommended" accessories and a bundled system with a 2.4 GHz radio system. The price for this package is very competitive with most of the other real RTF systems, but this, being an ARF, requires more assembly than any of the true RTF models.
Dick,
There is a Tower Trainer RTF, but unfortunately it is "temporarily unavailable". But Ihave put several students into training with the RTFpackage. In fact, Ifound out how easy it was to build one of these last summer. Hada student that bought one but we could never get our schedules to match up for me to help him put it together. So finally Itold him to plug the transmitter and receiver batteries in to charge and then bring the whole box to the field the next morning. We put the entire plane together in 20 minutes on the tailgate of his truck!!!! So it is really almost a true RTF.

I hope they have it available again soon.
