I built an LT-40 this summer and now have over 100 flights on it.

The kit was complete I built it per the plans and used all the supplied hardware which included everything except the rubber bands.

It built quick straight and easy(3 weeks). I followed the instructions exactly. everything fit all the servos were placed per plan all the push rods were bent and fit per plan. I used a new OS 46-FX and even the throttle hookups were per plan(I did add a little nose weight to make it balance).

The plane flies great takes off easy does loops rolls cuban 8's inverted, all very nice for a trainer. My instructor could not believe how easy it was to take off and fly, I flew 5 times with an instructor and was taking off and landing on the third flight(thanks the to FMS sim). I solo'd on my 6th flight, no one else at the field.

I think this kit is a great way to start, I especially like the fact it came with all the extras(fuel tank, control rod linkages, horns, wheels, gear, hinges(CA), servo tray(ply), motor mount, spinner, screws, etc. The instructions even tell you which kind of glue to use for every joint, I built mine with the use of three types of CA, no epoxy.
