SteelTiger - I just joined RCU and saw you question today. I hope by now you've bought the TT 40 Trainer and are flying. I highly recommend the model. It was my first RC after not building or flying since we were using single blip transmitters and rubber band powered escapements (60's), servos weren't invented yet! It is a very cool model to build and fly. I over powered it with a TT pro .46 and it actually does great aerobatics for a trainer so it got me up through intermmediate manuvers. My next model was the Seagull PC-6 ARF with the same engine. Great model for #2 'cause not many people at the field with it. It's great looking too. GREAT performance but enjoy the Trainer for a long time. My buddy has mine now and is just learning so it continues to handle small repairs and minor dings VERY well.
