Default RE: Lt-40, NexStar, Tower Trainer whats the difference?

I built the tower trainer b/c I got the kit for 30 bucks with the coupons tower offers periodically. It has quite a bit of dihedral for an aileron plane and using ailerons requires a smidge or rudder to groove a turn. You can howerver just about fly it with rudder, elevator only as well which makes it nice. It's pretty strong too... I had a flameout following takeoff when banking away from the pits... the touchdown wasn't pretty but no damage.
