I had the Voyager for a first plane also; loved to fly that plane. Not long before I lost it Tower stopped making it, I was really happy to see them come back. I was seriousely thinking of getting one but think it would be like stepping backwards.

I kept my engine inverted; didn't really do any mods to the plane. The only thing I changed were the main wheels. After I had flown it for a while I wanted to put a bigger prop, went with a 12 inch, and needed the clearance.

Hope you have yours longer than I had mine, about 2 years. Take it up 2-3 mistakes high and do a roll or two.
