Farmbuyer,

I have a stock LT40 with a Magnum .46 on it. I can tell you straight up that you won't be needing the flaps. I have to dial in down elevator on mine just to make it fly level! The thing floats like a balloon. The CG is very forgiving on this plane. I converted my wing to bolt on some time ago. To lower the dowels to grab more of the header I cut a couple of slots in the bottom edge of the wing, epoxied the dowels in and then epoxied a small piece of ply over top. I learned to fly on this plane and it has taken a HUGE amount of abuse but the wing dowels have never failed and maybe it's just luck, or I learned to crash properly, but I have never done any serious damage to the wings. This is a great plane. Hope you have fun with it.
