Talofa to everyone out there from Samoa. I'm a New Zealander who has been in Samoa (South Pacific to those not good with an atlas), for 7 years or so.

This is my first time on RCU and I would appreciate opinions, advice from you out there.

RC does not happen here but I want to change that.

I've received a lot of advice from a Auckland (NZ) club and Aloha Hobbies in Hawaii.

I've looked at the Nexstar RTF to start my adventure but am now looking at the Tower Hobbies Tower Trainer 40 RTF. Obviously, the Tower Trainer does not have all the latest gizmos and high-tech attachments, but I had the opportunity while in New Zealand at Christmas time to use a club's trainer, which happened to be a Tower Trainer.

I found it to be a comfortable unit to fly. I also had the chance to use both Mode 1 and Mode 2. I understand that Mode 2 is mostly used in the USA but down south, Mode 1 seems to be the preference. On this occasion, I found Mode 1 easier to use. Any comments?.

Anyhow, enough of me, I would like any comments from people who have started with the Tower Trainer.

Enjoy your day.
Regards,
Samoan Kiwi
