Default RE: LT-40 ARF Improvements--NICE!!

ORIGINAL: Rcpilet

It also has a bolt-on wing. The tank floor is preinstalled and all the firewall blind nuts are preinstalled. Sig has added lite-ply braces in the tail to keep control rods from flexing. A nice touch, as I had to cut my older ARF open and butcher in the braces when it was new. The servo tray is preinstalled as well.
That's good to hear. I got my first LT40 ARF during spring 2001. The wing was still held down with rubber bands. I had trouble with the control rods too - mine kept binding. But, I loved that plane, and wouldn't hesitate to get another.

I had a second LT40 I bought 2nd hand. It was covered with 21st Century fabric covering (cream), and was equipped with flaps and lights. I never used the lights or flaps though, and ended up removing them during a rebuild. The flaps were set up the same as yours. I wish I had tried them; but I only had that plane on a 4 channel radio that I had a buddy box for.

I like the servo for the tail wheel idea. I have to remember that for LT40 III. Good luck with yours.
