I built the LT from kit as first plane and flew it with the .46 and .32. One problem, fear of crashing makes it harder to learn. After soloing I built a Armidillo and finally one of the Spads. they fly well, take a pounding and remove fear of crashing Unless you want the experience of building something from a Kit follow Tattoos advice and spend your time flying and enjoying a plastic creation like the Debonair. The engine should serve you well on several models.
