May sound stupid but I want to know as much as I can before meeting with my instructor, I don't want to be a total idiot. I got a tower trainer 40 with an O.S. .46fx. It was a kit deal ARF from TH.

First thing, I have a hole/rip in my towerkote on the fuse. I don't know if our cat was trying to help or my kids. But anyway I have something to fix. Now How do I? Just some towerkote and "tape" over it? It is in an area with no balsa.

Second, what should I use to get fuel into the fuel tank? Squirt bottle, hand crank pump, or elec. fuel pump?

Third, use after run oil, wd-40, or don't worry about it?

Fourth, should I use an air filter? I hope to have my own runway which will be part grass, part dirt and part sand.

Do I need an ESV voltmeter?

Should I go ahead and set up a "Billy Box". Named after Billy Hell using a black & decker master cart. BTW it really looks great Billy, or should I say Mr. Hell.(since I am a newbie)

Last, but not least, I want to thank you all. I "watch" and read as much as I can from you guys. You are all so helpfull and nice.
(that was my brown nose job so you won't hammer down on me)

Did you guys see DIY's Chris C. with that trainer show? My wife and kids kept giving me crap about it taking him an hour and me since x-mas. I tried to explain it but they never listen, I've been "fixing" it up for quite a while. Once I get it all balanced out I'll be ready. cant wait!!!
