I've been flying my Tower Trainer 40 ARF/OS 40LA plane a little over a month. The only thing I dislike about it is the stick-on covering material used.....but for $100 built I can't complain. It flies well and is fairly rugged. I've bent the nose gear a few times during some hard landings. Didn't have to add any weight to balance it out. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another if this one dies.

BTW: The fuse is balsa/ply (mostly ply). I didn't notice any plastic fuse parts.
