Default RE: Tower Trainer--- Fantastic quality

Its a pretty good flier as well. However that covering will start to
peel off pretty quick.

Ive trained two guys with this plane and while it does fly very
nicely it has a couple of odd quirks.

First on takeoff as soon as the wheels break ground it wants to
dip to the right. Holding down elevator during the takeoff run to
keep the nose wheel on the ground until it builds up a little more
speed helps a great deal.

And it bounces like crazy on landing. Part of it is due to the springy
landing gear.

Overall its a good trainer. Better than the Nexstars and way loads
better than that terrible Hanger Nine P51 trainer. Ughh.
