GL, thanks for letting me know. I called Tower Hobbies & while talking to them she told me about a radio case on sale for $14.99 so I ordered that as well. That put my order a little over $300 so she gave me a $25 discount! Then I got an aditional $5 because my hubby had joined there Super Saver Club earlier & used it during the first 30 days. She also checked to see if there were any other offers that would work for me & I got an AccuThrow for free too. Got it all for $274.98. Not a bad deal I don't think. *Ü*

.>Hi Paula,
Well if you order a lot the saver thing is worth it but I turned it down.
If your talking about the small box to put the transmitter in ????
Really not needed but is a good price.
I just got off the phone and ordered the same trainer.
Can't beat the price.
I don't know where you live but try to locate a place near by where you can by fuel cheap.
I'm in NJ and this place has very good prices and is a 2 hour ride from me.http://www.s-whobby.com/fuel.html
I also contacted several local fliers so we got 20 cases coming and no haz mat fee.
From info right here that I have if you place an order of more then $100.00 for this month then your entitled to a free TS 53-U FUTABA servo.
Hey,
It never hurts to have a spare
But you need to call them and tell them you saw it in the catalog and mention ad # 04340
You did good and I think TH came out with the bigger trainer and engine to compete with the Airstrike.
I priced the RTF Airstrike and it's $400.00.
When you put the trainer together double check ALL the controls and measure the throws.
Also I found that my other trainer will roll better when the throws are set to give you more UP aileron in the direction your turning and less down for the same direction.
To do this you need one of the round wheel type arms for that servo.
I have mine set for 1/2 inch up and 3/8 inch down.
You can fly it as is and have tons of fun.
Go high and throttle back and do some rolls, fly on light updrafts and in the summer you may even catch some strong thermals.
Your also getting the system 3000 radio with that trainer.
Real nice setup.
Keep us posted
PS: WHAT IS this>>>>> *U* ???
