It's time to build a new LT-40 club trainer this winter. I like this plane a lot, but it's a bit too much of a floater, which makes it hard for some students to land. My question is, how much to clip the wings. Would taking out two bays on each side be too much? I'd like to hear from someone who has done this.

If it matters, I use an O.S. .46 engine and a Fults dual strut nose gear: otherwise no modifications.
