I've been flying an Easystar on and off for about 2 years. More off than on. I'm wanting to get into glow. I need to keep it cheap and I have been looking at the Tower Hobbies 40 ARF. Has anyone purchased one recently and what do you think. What I've read, the biggest problem is the covering. Is that really an issue?
Thanks for your advise.

Not really an issue any more than it is on any other ARF trainer. I learned on the Tower Trainer 10 years ago, and have taught a bunch of students using them since then. It'll do fine for learning for you. It's a good value too.

RCKen,
I was going to get the OS .40 LA ABN Engine. Do you think this is a good choice?

It should do just fine. I had a OS 40 FSR on mine, which is pretty much the same engine as you have. In fact, I still have the plane/engine combo today. It's got 600+ flights on it and still flying fine!!!

Thanks for the help!
