I don't disagree that the LT-40 can fly inverted.. it just doesnt do it very pretty! LOTS of elevater. you will see what I mean when you transfer to a semi or symetrical airfoil plane. As far as the tail dragger is concerned. converting isn't real hard.. you just need to run an additional control rod to the tail, and install a decent tail wheel assembly. You can use an aluminum landing gear set instead of the wire wheels.The mains need to be slightly forward (abount an inch) of the CG. The main reason you see lots on aircraft on the nose at your field is the way people land them. I see way too many people land the plane before it is ready to land, and to top it off they forget to keep the elevater up when they are on the ground. 90% of every landing is the approach. If you have a stable aproach to the runway. I.E. Speed, angle of attack, decent rate, line up.. the rest is easy. fly it till it's a foot off the ground.. level out, and let the plane settle. as it sinks.. bring back the elevater and keep doing that till you touch down. This method works no matter the wheel config. of course take off is another story.. one best left to the instructer at your side

BTW if you can swing it.. The R C computer simulaters are really worth the money. you will save yourself alot of repairs and broke props by using the sim. I still use mine to practice IMAC patterns.
