Hi, found this thread while building my T40 over the winter. Finished it up a few weeks ago and put about 3 hrs on it. It's got a Magnum 46 XLS, dual aileron servos and I made some minor internal mods. AUW is 4lbs 15oz, balanced per plans. It's definitely a hot rod, the faster it goes the happier it is. I had to crank a little washout into the wing tips to improve low speed handling. I use an APC 10/5 for best all around performance, 10/6,11/4,11/5 are ok.
It's a blast to fly, has true unlimited vertical, slow & point rolls nicely, full throttle knife edge passes are just down right fun! I haven't done any spins yet, just having to much fun going full speed. The one comment I hear over and over, (why no retracts?). Well the next one will get retracts and I'll add flaps so I can use higher pitch props and still slow it down to land. Also found out that a US40 canopy is a perfect fit after I over heated the original in the dye pot.[:@] A truly nice little plane that's definitely different at the field.
