Get a simulator and practice, practice, and practice some more with it. You will be amazed at how well prepared you will be when you actually fly your first R/C aircraft. I trained with RealFlight's G2 Lite simulator for several months before I flew my first high wing trainer which was a Hobbico 60-sized ARF. Training with the simulator helped train for left-right-up-down, cross-wind problems, rudder application, etc. and is an excellent investment in my humble opinion. Now that I have a new computer with Windows 7 I need to purchase RealFlight G5 which I intend to do.

Can you squeeze an O.S. 91 four stroke into your LT40? The OS 91 is the motor I installed in my second plane which was a SIG 4-star 60. I highly recommend the 4*60 / OS 91 combo.
