Default Questions about SIG LT 40

Thanks to all the helpful feed back from you all I have decided to choose the SIG LT 40 as my first glow engine trainer plane. I just have a few questions that I hope you guys will be kind enough to answer.

1. Does the SIG LT 40 have ailerons?

2. How can I get it where it has a tail wheel where I can attach a servo to guide during take off and landing. The one on tower hobbies site is a tripod type.

3. When setting up the servos, does it matter wich stick controls the aileron and which controls the the elevator. Reason I ask is that I saw a diagram that shows the up/down(elevator) and left/right (aileron) on the right stick and the rudder on the left stick. I have been flying a 3 channel electric plane (aerobird) and this would not be what I am used to. Seems to me I'd want the rudder and elevator on the right and the ailerons on the left.

4. How is the engine started? Will I need to buy a starter?

5. Will I need any thing else besides TX, RX and engine other than the following?
. A. LXK129 Great Planes Silicone Fuel Tubing Standard 3'
. B. LXL434 Hobbico #64 Rubber Bands 1/4lb.
. C. LXHY24 Top Flite 10x6 Power Point Propeller
. D. LXA298 Wildcat Premium 10% Extra Quart

6. How long does a quart of fuel typically last? Should I buy more?

7. Do I need to buy glow plugs?

8. Is it safe to say that I can throttle the plane back to a speed I am confortable with at first and still stay in the air. Maybe just a little faster than 15 - 20 mph air speed at first? What is the maximum air speed with a .46 engine?

I want to place an order soon, but I want to make sure I have absolutely everything I need. I am buying the ARF not the Kit. I am getting the 6YG FM R127DF 4 S3004 57 72930 with an O.S .46 LA engine.

If there is any other information you think I may be missing, please tell me. I appreciate all your help.


Thanks,


Wings
