RE: 40 or 60
I want to thank everyone for their input. I've been planing on starting a kit in Sept for a while now. This is to be a father/son thing. My son originally wanted to build the Top Flight .60 P-47. After my experience with my Cub I think I could still build a great P-47, but wouldn't be able to fly it. I need to talk to my son when he gets back from vacation and talk him into the 4*. I think I'll probably go with the 60 size, and get a new engine that will give me enough performance.
Oh, just to clear up what happened when I flew the Cub. Nice clear day, but with a lot of big fluffy clouds. Every time I lost orientation on the plane I was high altitude (3 mistakes high), with the clouds in the background. I didn't loose sight of the plane, but didn't realize I was continuing the roll till I was inverted. My instructor also was loosing orientation too and didn't realize I was inverted either till the plane started descending. I do plan on re-thinking the design on the top of the wing to give better definition between the top and the bottom.
I may have gotten a little ahead of myself with the Cub, but I do try to push myself a little so I keep improving, but I think I'll push my self with my LT-40 for a while, then the 4*. When I get the 4* I'll start a thread with pics to show my son's and my progress
