comment from air hawk
Just want to say thanks for some of the
info I have read from my opening thread.
My first trainer arf was the sig LT-40
and it was a great flying plane. I was
close to solo after flying well on a buddy
box but on my solo flight I made to fast
of a turn causing it to stall because I had
not got up enough air speed for such a sudden turn and it was so low my trainer could not recover it in time either so it
stuck like an arrow in the ground doing
big time damage. I really like the plane
but if you have never had any type of
experince at all like me it was a while
before I got it all together. The good
thing is once you have done it once the
next time will be much simpler to do.
A big help would have been an adjustable engine mount instead of
the one that came with it. I may try another one and finish my solo with
it. I have a tower 40 I have almost
completed but I know already it will
not compare to the sig lt-40. The other
mistake I made was I used an OS 40
LA engine and I should have gone to
the OS FX 46. My instructor said if I
had the extra power he may have saved the plane. The 40 will fly it but
you need plenty of take off room to
get air born .
Thanks for your info
