How about another plane? What do you guys think about these?

RCKen- The 2.4gigahertz radio looks like a pretty neat feature. Would add a little piece of mind while flying I'd imagine. Do you have any experience with these newer remotes?

Tigerdude- I just did a little reasearch and the .35 is rated at .8hp while the .40 is rated at 1hp. 20% hp drop seems like alot. I wonder if my engine would be fine in the tower trainer or would I be better off with a smaller trainer? If I were to get the fancy 2.4gigahertz remote that would take a big cut out of the budget.

Thanks guys!
