RE: Best Trainer
One thing nobody mentioned is with the LT-25 and LT-40, all you have to do is build a straight wing with ailerons and you have very quickly made a Quasi-Cub. They are able to do some aerobatics and are great for converting to twin floats, just like a Cub, without having to spend all the money and/or time to build/set up a new plane from ground up. I'm building a Kadet JR from plans and doing that mod from the start. I'm also building two different wings for it, the stock 48", and a 54" for use with floats. Next mod will be going from a bushed OS 25FP to a bearing .25 or .40.
