Hey acdii!!! If this was for me, I've been into RC since the early 70's, CL since 1955. I'm doing the LT40 to replace my
seriously-aging 3-channel Kadet Mk-1. I was actually talking about lessening it to 1" total - pretty flat. I did that with my Sr. Falcon when I built her in 1974. That wing is very nearly flat on top, only 3/4" lift when the wing's flat on a table. The Kadet Mk-1 was built with the full 6* (my first RC plane), the LT40 will be much more of a "sport" plane than a trainer.
