weight would not be a problem. my plane has a SuperTigre 40 engine in it, and I dont know what the deal is for sure, but the tail of my LT-40 must be "over-engineered"...too much adhesive, etc, because the plane is incredibly tail heavy. I have to weight it down in the nose, bigtime. I put a bag of fish sinkers in the nose of the plane, no joke.
I hear that most LT-40s build tail heavy.....I could use a boat anchor for a front nose gear... !!!
