RE: 4* 40 construction issue
I've got around 80 solo flights on my LT-40, after flying with an instructor for maybe 25 flights...... so I have over 100 flights total...probably more like 125. Takeoffs and landings are routine, with the LT-40. The other night, I did touch-n-go's......on the last flight before sunset. Must have gotten in 13-14 nearly perfect landings, before I finally sat her down.
I can do lazy rolls, loops, and can "fly the pattern" with ease. I dont have alot of skill flying the rudder. I play around with it some, practice flying the plane with it, but if my aerelons failed, I'd probably freak out a little. That is the extent of my "advanced" flying skills.
The only reason I ask about whether I can fly it on my own....is that i hated flying on the buddy cord. Most people would rather fly their own plane, rather than fly with me on my trainer.
Looking forward to flying a plane that is less of a "dog", and doesnt have a nosewheel.
