My Tower Trainer 40 MK needed some work with the iron, but compared to my Avistar, I thought it was pretty minimal. Squirely in taxiing, I'm working on that. Closest hole on the rudder, farthest hole on nose gear, nose gear closest hole at the servo, rudder furthest hole, with EPA set down to give just enough rudder travel. For the most part should make taxiing less squirely. I had to do the same thing on my Avistar. My maiden flights were in winds of 15 mph+, not the greatest for a maiden, but I thought it flew just fine with the GMS 47. Looking forward to lighter winds for better trim sessions. I have all the flying surface gaps sealed, with the CG exactly as specified, and laterally balanced. It flies quite nimbly and is going to be fun to fly it as a sport plane. I am considering swapping out the main wheels for maybe the next size or +2 to get it to sit at level. I fly off of grass and larger wheels just make more sense. I've only flown two times now, but with the right trim procedures, I think it will be a great little Aerobat.

Winterhawk, do check the engine thrust angle and your balance (both axis). Also check ailerons for neutral, both should be flat when you put a straightedge on the bottom of the wing. I bet at least one of these is off. If unsure, have an experienced modeler check it for you.

I think its a great bargain at $70, just needs the correct setup. Even though I'm not really a new flier, probably more intermediate, I think its a fine plane for training or even sport flying.

Good flying to all.
