Agreed!

I also purchased the Tower Trainer 40.  I've had a LOT of fun with it!
It's a very nice plane.  I've only got a few minor complaints about it
(a subject to be saved for another day!).  I've run a couple of gallons
of fuel through it, which is quite a bit since the Tower ABC 40 engine
that I got with the plane isn't much of a fuel hog.

That's one of my complaints....the landing gear is a little flimsy.  On
a trainer, that just should NOT be the case!  In fact, my gear has quite
a wobble to it right now.

I did that too...I almost trashcanned it, but my buddy said that we
could fix it.  We did, and it flys just as good as before!  A little
heavier from the glue, but still not bad.  :)
 
I have two other planes.  A 4-40 (don't know the brand) and a Kavalier.
The 4-40 is an Intermediate Trainer.  I'm going to start flying that as
soon as I can get some new pushrods in it for the elevator and rudder.
You see, I bout the 4-40 and the Kavalier used from a friend at work.
Both were hardly used (in fact, I don't think the Kavalier has had ANY
air time!) so I'm quite excited to fly them!
 
What a fun hobby!  Too bad that mother nature has to ruin the fun so
much (wind, rain & snow!).
 
Good luck!
