I learned on one also. It is a fine trainer and a good bargain.

A few comments... I could never get the 40la to run properly on the Tower Trainer and had to switch to a 40FX (the same la was OK on other planes). There is no provision for padding the fuel tank (may have been the problem with the 40la). You may want to do some surgery on the nose to provide room for foam padding or use a smaller tank. You really don't need a 10 oz tank on a trainer. 6 oz would be fine.

The "shelf paper" covering does not hold up well to fuel, but is good enough for a trainer. You will need to recover in a year or two, if you want to keep it. Also, the nose gear is a sloppy fit - you may want to get a larger diameter one that fits the holes better. Otherwise ground handling can be a bit difficult.
