Okay my question is this. Does anyone have any opinions about the Tower Hobbies Trainer RTF? So far it seems to be the best bet for the money. I like the fact that it has a .46 ABC ball bearing motor where most have only a .40 motor.
The local club here has a rule that they will only train newbies if they start out with a trainer plane so that knocks me out of getting the Avistar RTF that I really like.
If anyone could give me any information & opinions on the Tower Hobbies Trainer RTF I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of this great forum. I read daily & have learned a lot.
Thanks,
Paula

I have the Super Star Select 40 and Tower hobbys bigger trainer.
Both fly like a truck and very easy to fly.
I have read on other post that the Avistar is just a bit of a faster trainer.
I don't see what the problem is because they can hook you up to the trainer box and at the flip of a switch take control of the Avistar.
Airstrike makes a TRAIER??? close to a 6 foot wing span and will do 60+ MPH.
Will they turn you down on that?
To me the Avistar is a trainer but just a bit faster.
If you have to go with the trainer then go with the trainer TH has that has the OS 46 L
A engine.
I think the price is $289.00 and if you call them remind them that you get a $15.00 discount because your spending over $249.99.
That trainer is called the Tower Trainer 40 RTF.
Nice bird,bigger engine and will do 50 and landings are very easy and slow.
