Default RE: LT-40 Century Model

Steve: Thanks for posting the pic, would like to see more if you have them.

I picked up one box of #67 at a hobby shop. I can't imagine Sig dropping them since they are needed for the LT. Anyway, I will possibly bolt the wing on. RTL Fasteners has 10-32 and 1/4-20 brass threaded inserts that would work great for this. The stock main gear is 5/32, I plan to either replace with 3/16 or a dural gear. I have an old Breiting wire bender that should do the job.

I do have a barely broken in FS48, I wasn't sure if it would have enough power. But after reading some posts here, I will strongly consider the four stroke. (I just hate breaking them in). The engine kept throwing props, since it had only one prop nut. I was able to get a locking nut set from Tower, same as used on the newer FS52. Hopefully that will solve my problem.

This first LT may turn out to be a proto type experimental, a "dry run" so to speak, then get another kit for the final build. The LT is undoubtedly a proven design, just want to add my personal touches.
