Very nice and thorough explainations here. I love it, can't get it wrong can I? I figured you were going to use 30-minute epoxy - just as I do, I do not trust anything else. I was going to use epoxy from the start but wanted to be sure from you on how it was and should be done.

I am glad I waited for you to do yours because I was not sure about joining the two W1 ribs together - didn't know if you were going to do the joiners (dihedral braces) alone with epoxy and use CA for the ribs, OR do the whole thing with epoxy [which I should have known you would have knowing how much you hate CA glues].

Now that I know that I can't get it wrong after reading and studying these posts, I am going to go ahead and join mine now. Thank you so much for your guidance and help!!! [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]

The only thing I did different from the plans so far is I cut away the servo openings in the bottom sheeting before the joining step as I figured it would be easier on me to cut them before joining the panels instead of after the joining (which it truly was).

Another spot I am thinking of modifying is the way the hatch is kept on. Instead of holding it down with the screw I am thinking of using a nylon hatch hold-on clip on the inside of the compartment and hatch.

It works well for other trainers I have seen so it should work on the LT-40.
Here is what I would like to use instead of the screw --------> http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDMM0&P=0
