Been reading all these build threads and decided I couldn't let you have all the fun so...... I have an LT-40 sitting on the building board. I have several questions that I need everyone's advise on:
1. I would like to build this kit with dual aileron servos. How far out in the wing should they go? I would like to mount them sideways inside the wing with just the servo arm exposed through a slot. Need a lot of instruction/drawing on how to build the servo mount with recommended sizes of wood to use. Also, how much torque will these servos need for this plain......can I use some of the smaller size to cut down on weight?
2. Don't want to use the wire main landing gear and would perfer to use one of the one pc designs. What mods do I need to make to the bottom of the fusalage? Add some plywood? How big of pc and how thick?
3. Back on the wings.....I have seen some of you recommend adding holes in the ribs to allow air to move to aid during covering. This kit has shear webs on the main and secondary spars...so alot of trapped air. Is it worth adding these holes, and if so, what is the best way to make them??
4. Fuel proofing. Think most people use epoxy but will a good fuel proof paint work just as well?
Not sure if I should have put this in the beginners section or not......wanted you experienced guys to comment
