Default First flight with Tower Voyager

Hi there everyone. I had my first two flights with my Tower Voyager Mk1 ARF yesterday and was very pleased. It floated in for landings and was easy to handle in flight, just as I was hoping. I have been flying one of their trainers for a few years, so I was ready to move up, as long as it was a small move. I'm not good with inverted flight yet, so I was happy when the Voyager did not tend to go "Belly Up" as the slightest input. The Voyager is powered by a new OS .46 LA, (just like my trainer) and it ran perfectly, with only 2 tanks burned up on the ground for break in.
So, if you are ready to move up from a trainer, try the Voyager. The cost was minimum. The only mods I made was to reverse the engine and mount, and route the throttle rod along the other side, easy mods to do during the build. I left off the cowling as well.
