Status: offline 		Hi all, I have a few framed up planes that I need to complete. I'm thinking of converting the LT-40 to a twin and wonder if anyone has done this. I think this would be a good way to get into twins and float planes at the same time. Would two Saito 56's pull this well with floats or would the 72's be better? Where do I find info on nacelle construction and attachment to wings? Just gathering info before I start gathering parts.
I will be covering a Kobra soon. I've got a framed up Midmest Zero 40 and framed up GP Extra 60. I made a vow to finish these before I start anything new. I want to finish the LT-40 and Extra before next spring.

Thanks all, MikeB

Status: offline 		There will be an article with plans for the conversion of an ARF trainer to a twin in an upcoming issue of Model Aviation. I've seen the airplane fly and it is a real pu**ycat. I understand that the first prototype is on floats now also.

Thanks again, MikeB

The tubs on the Seniorita are quick removeable with two 1/4 20 nylon bolts.
