Yep, I have to agree that the Tower Trainer is a nice one. I too learned on this trainer. I learned on the trainer with an OS 40 FP. I still have the plane to this day. It's been recovered twice, the engine has almost no compression but still runs like a champ, and it's got somewhere around 600 flights on it now!!! [X(] I keep it around for sentimental reasons because I got it from my dad after he passed away, unfortunately he never got a chance to learn to fly with it before he died. For that reason I'll always have it around. But I still like to take it out to the field about once a month or so. I think that everybody should keep their trainers even after they have learned. This may sound silly to some, but I love flying the trainer for a relaxing day of flying. It's fun to fly after flying hotter planes. It's funny in that when you are learning to fly that trainer looks like it's moving SOOOOOOOO fast, but after you have learned and you come back to it you're amazed that a plane can fly SOOOOOOOOOOO slow!!!!!!!!! I've also found that trying to fly acrobatic maneuvers with a trainer can actually improve your skills on them. That's because with the trainer you have to actually FLY the plane through the maneuver. It's really good for teaching your fingers which way to move the sticks to get through a maneuver.
