Trashed Tower Trainer
 

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
