Hi.
My father has an LT 40 that he is training on. There two problems we have encountered with this plane: It wont stop climbing at anything above idle and its a bear to land.
Dropping the engine speed doesnt result in the plane settling down to earth, you have to FORCE it down to the ground. I have had some floaters but this thing is insane.
Idle is set properly, CG is correct, engine is an OS .40LA.
My suggestions to him were to either shim up the rear of the wing a bit or add small washers to the top screws of the engine mount to add a little down thrust.
Anyone agree, disagree or have any other suggestions to offer?
It is very difficult helping my Dad learn to land a plane that is so difficult to land. I can set that sucker down fairly easily but, as I said, I have to force it down to get it to land.
Makes him so nervous that its near impossible for him to land it and landing practice is what he needs the most right now.
