1990s vintage LT40 build thread
Am going to build my first kit, an old LT40. Been sitting in the box in a barn since the '90s.
The piano wire is a bit rusty, but that's the only flaw I see so far.
I have gotten as far as spreading out the plans.
Planning on 5S on a 700 KV GEForce motor, with a 12 to 15 inch prop.
Maybe 14 is the largest that will fit, we'll see.
A 13x10 would probably give it unlimited vertical, so I don't need to go crazy on prop size.
I will be looking for the best way to convert it to a bolt-on wing.
2 pins and 2 bolts or 4 bolts, either way is fine with me.
I'm sure it's easy, but for this plane is there a real advantage in putting a servo on each wing?
I won't be using the ailerons for flaps or such.
I'd have to go out and buy 2 servos (I'd like 'em to match if I did it that way), and funding is tight.
