Thanks for posting the pics.

My LT is almost ready to cover, waiting for some hardware from Tower. The plane has been a joy to build, all parts fit perfectly and the wood was excellent quality though a little heavier than I prefer. Total airframe weight is 3 lbs 5 oz. Specs are for 6 lbs max, think this one will be closer to 6-1/2 lbs.

Total conversion to tail dragger. I have an LT-25 on the shelf, borrowed the dural gear. I need as much prop clearance as possible, if the FS48 doesn't work out, I have an FS70 broken in. I'm at 6500 feet, so may need some extra power.

I moved the control point for the rudder to the bottom/side so as to make the tiller connection directly with short rod or springs. Dual aileron servos, have a computer radio on order. Left the dihedral stock, paper tubes in wing to run servo leads to center box.

Added a fairing similar to yours on leading and trailing edge. Bolt on wing, with 3 dowels at leading edge, 1/4-20 bolts into blind nut under beefed up F7.

Decided not to change the turtle deck profile, just added 1/4" triangle stock both sides of fin and front extension.

Interesting the stab had braces but no ribs, fin had ribs but no braces. I used lightweight 1/4" X 5/16" for these instead of the supplied 5/16" square stock which was very hard and heavy.

Windshield also removable for access to a planned 14 oz tank. Nothing special planned for the color scheme, the supplied decals are great and would be a shame not to use them.

My only concern is the weight, I am used to building much lighter than this. Do you have a total weight on your LT ?

Hope to post pictures in a few days.
