Hi all, I have a framed up LT-40 that I want to bash. I know if I build it stock, I will get bored with it. To make it more interesting I want to install a Sig 4*60 wing. The span, chord and wingspan are very close to the LT-40. I will need to cut the wing saddle for the correct mating with the new wing. Can I use a rib as a template to cut the fuse saddle? If I draw a line through the rib from LE to TE and make this parallel with the horizontal stab, will it fly ok?
Other mods planned.
Extend rear of fuse to taper to a point.
Convert to tailgragger.
Install two Saito 62? in wing.
Make the elevator a little larger and split it.
Extend the rudder to the bottom of the fuse.
Install floats at a later date.
I'd like it to be fairly fast with great verticle. I don't want soggy performance with the floats on it. I'm really liking my Saito's. I would also like it fairly aerobatic when called upon, no 3-D.
I guess my biggest question is the wing incidence and how to get it right the first time.
Thanks, MikeB
