Default What Trainer

I agree with ross8236. The Sig Kadet LT40 is an excellent trainer. I built one with a .46 engine and bolted the wing on instead of using rubber bands. My only problem with the one I had was that it required some nose weight to balance. It was mildly tail heavy. With the .46 you have plenty of power if you need it but you can fly very well when throttled down. I bought mine as an Arf (only my second ARF). I have been building since 1934 and still prefer to do it that way. I do not, however, know much about the kit version. If it is as good as Sig's other kits it should be fine. Street price for the ARF is about $130.00. Unless you already have the radio and engine you will have to add that to the price.
