I'd like to get into flying and from what I've read the Tower Hobbies TOWER Trainer 40 MKII AFR is a great beginner plane. First question is will the os .35 fp engine I have work with this plane or am I better off getting the bigger .40 or .46? The .35 is left over from a airboat that has disintegrated but the engine always ran like a champ. The template that came with the engine shows the same footprint as the .40 but would the lower hp of the .35 cause me any problems? Or is there another good beginner plane out there that the .35 will work great in?

Also what would be a good remote for this plane and future planes? It seems that I can get away with getting a 4 channel remote but I think if I stick with this sport I'd be kicking myself in the butt down the road if I didn't get a 6 channel for future planes.

Thanks!
