RE: Kit build help....AAmco Aeromaster

Thanks for the replies.

R8893,

My main concern is the cabane wires. I'm a novice when it comes to bending wire or soldering. Also, any other things you can advise me on?

RE: LT40 Clipped Wing Starburst Covering

Hey SeamusG,

The LT looks really sharp. How much did you clip. And have you flown it yet? If so, how did she fly? I've got one in the hangar, and one NIB on the shelf. I may want to clip mine.
