Default RE: Tower Trainer combo questions

Yes I agree. That is another very nice airplane and would be a great companion to your engine. I have that kit myself put aside for a later build, I am putting a GMS2000 .32 ABC engine in it. Won't hurt it to put a .35 in it, the difference in size isn't significant enough to matter. And like oldvet70 says, all the parts are laser-cut to make the build very accurate, faster and extremely easy to build from the looks of it and I can not wait to start building it myself, but at this moment I am working on a Lanier ST-40 trainer that I am modifying to electric power. Even the control surfaces are pre-shaped and practically ready for hinging right out of the box.

I highly recommend the LT-25 for you, I believe you will be very happy with it - I don't think you will mind the tail-dragger either. Just a bit different approach with takeoffs and landings but you will love it I think.

If you prefer a tricycle gear I still recommend the Kadet Mark II as I suggested earlier. But if it don't matter and tail-dragger is OK with you go with the LT-25.

You might want to consider a Sig Kadet LT-25 Trainer Kit:

It would be a good fit for your OS engine. In addition our club uses it in our youth program and a 10 year old can build it in about 15hrs with a little help. Plus it is very easy to learn how to fly. We soloed 2 kids this year with about a half gallon of fuel using this plane. The kit is all lazer cut and SIG makes great planes of all types to help you advance. Don't be put off that it's a taildragger. That will present little problem with this plane.

Good luck.
