Default RE: Good Ol' LT-25

The LT-25 is probably one of the easiest to build kits ever on the market, even if you have never glued anything together. Best of all, it is an all balsa design, with that dreaded "lite-Ply" limited to the hatch over the fuel tank.

I decided to build one a few years ago to introduce people to RC flying, since I was not satisfied with the set-ups of most of the trainers that people have loaned me to fly in this role. Currently, it is all framed up waiting for covering, but I have always enjoyed framing up models more than the sanding and finishing.

My only suggestion in the building is to lightly sand the nubs off the laser cut parts before gluing into the structure. The nubs are where they leave the part connected to the sheet during the cutting. Do that minor sanding touch-up and everything fits perfectly.
