Default RE: LT-40 Modifications

Meathook,

Sounds like I did it about right on the ailerons. I made the ailerons (and flaps) 2.5" wide instead of the original 1.5". This gives me a total increase in aileron of 5.5 sqr inches. The wing has had almost all of the dihedral removed. You now have me looking at the wing again for strength. The D-tube construction is only for the middle fifth of the wing but it does have two sets of spars and I really glassed the joint.

Is your 100" kadet a big LT-40?
