Yesterday I met a friend of mine out at the Marymoor Flying Field (Seattle) who made the first flight of my LT-40. It was a beautiful day in Western Washington and we even needed sunglasses! We went over the airplane and then did a range check of the radio. With a full tank of gas and the buddy cords plugged in and checked, it was time to fly. I had already ran 3 tanks of gas through the Thunder Tiger .40 so no break-in was needed. We fired up the engine and made a small idle adjustment. The LT-40 flew perfect. This really is a great kit to build and even better to fly. With the airplane 3 mistakes high, it was my turn to fly it. It was very fun, I'm definitely hooked! I did find it a little exhausting as the concentration was very high. I ended up running it out of gas and a dead stick landing was made. My instructor is a very good pilot and with the airplane so high, it was not a problem. We actually made 2 flights and both landings were dead sticks and uneventful. Keep building, it is definitely worth it! I will try and upload a couple of pictures, hope it works. Bob
