Ya'll, I piled drived that thing hard in face first..first flight was fine ..I just usually lope around the sky but I got in 2 rolls with it and it died so I deadstick in...I'm not a beginer but most of my planes have 20-30 inch wingspans..well I happen to like to deadstick in so I fuel her up and off we go again..seems like I'm up there for a while and I decide to try inverted..well she's a bit far away and trust me you lose a lot of sky rolling a trainer..so I go to bring it in alittle and realize I'm back to inverted...too low..inverted. and full speed make for a very disoriented Rog..I just pulled the guts and left the rest out there..I have a tt4u .15 trainer almost ready and a chea-Pass .10 on the table, so I'm good with planes, couldnt believe I did such a boner! I may get another Tower Trainer just for fun.. but I dig my 1/2A stuff more.....Rog

Sorry for the loss.

Are you saying that your trainer loses altitude during a roll? Why? You're not doing it right if that's true.
I can take a typical trainer and string 2-3 rolls together w/o losing a foot of altitude. Naturally it takes more than just ailerons to make this happen.

I have a few friends who can put a trainer into rolling circles for minutes at a time. The onlt reason they stop is that they get very bored or lose their concentration

Elevator is also necessary when doing roles,Well for me it is.Sorry that you lost your tower trainer i felt bad when i crashed mine first time aswell.3 rebuilds later and its as good as new
