I have finished assembly of a Sig LT40, had it inspected by competent flyer at my local club. Finished making suggested fixes, and will start lessons soon. But I want to start on my 2nd plane now. I bought a GP Easy Sport 40 ARF as it looked sort of like an old Falcon 56. It is a neat kit, but I hate the shelf paper covering. It will take me sometime to get to solo on my LT40 but I wanted to get started assembling No. 2. Can I strip the covering off the wings, stab, and fin before I get started? Maybe off the Fuselage also. And as far as engines go, I have several .40 OS Max engines - a .40 Max H from years ago, a .40 FP from not so long ago, and a .40 LA from earlier this year. I am thinking of using the the oldest one since I had it so long. It is in the breaking in stage right now with the rest of the engines. This will be my fall project. Any suggestions on the covering issue or the engine use?
