I love my LT-40. I agree 100% with the above mods. No dihedral, dragger, bolt on wing, dual aileron servos are a must if you plan on doing anything but a lazy pattern or loops. With a computer radio the flaperon option really helps take some of the float out of the landings. For the vertical attachment, I used two small hardwood dowels. I just broke off two pieces of pencil lead and pushed them into the stab. Then you dry fit the vertical and the lead will mark your drill points. Remove the vertical, drill on the pencil marks, insert the dowels and epoxy in place. This has worked very well on mine. An additional in flight benefit of the tail dragger configuration is the ability to move the CG back. When mine was a trike the CG was directly above the center of the wheels which made ground handling interesting. I wanted the CG a little further back so my only option was to convert. I would also recommend the Sullivan tail wheel given that you are using a pasture. I frequently fly from pastures and I prefer free wheel to tiller. Its easier to rig, lighter and easier on the servo given rough terrain. Another point on the terrain, 1/4-20 nylon bolts are a must for the landing gear. Ask me how I know?
