Default Transition Kadet to 4 star.

Thanks for the great reply sigrun,
Just a couple questions:
<Quote> Make sure it's straight and that the ailerons are set neutral with the supplied gauge. <Quote>
What do you mean by this, i dont 100% understand.
Also when using a dave brown engine mount does one mount fit both sizes the .40LA and .46FX? If not does the different sizes have the same placement for the firewall bolts?

About the taildragger someone told me it was best to bend them in slightly so there angled toward each other, smart idea?
And does the taildragger only effect the takeoffs or are the landings alot harder as well? Because if its just the takeoffs then i coudl easily practice that on the ground but when im in the air its a bit harder.

<Quote> The Four Star is a non-approach stalling kitten to t/o and land or fly slowly <Quote>

By this do you mean i should not make a long approach but rather turn directly into the runway? (sorta like a deadstick?)
Im a little confused by thios sentence is the dash in the wrong place cause this is what im getting non-approach, stalling.
Or do you mean non approach-stalling. Hehe just clarify that please.

Im actually very pleased that i chose the .40 LA instead of the larger .46 fx. It thought me to fly underpower and forced me to use good flying skills instead of power. It might not be as much fun as the fx but i would still suggest it to anyone with a .40 trainer. (Im contridicting myself so much form another thread lol)

Anyways thanks for the replies, hopefully ill get in done soon ill let you know how it goes.
