Xavier, I'd suggest you stick with your LT 40 a bit longer, for as a trainer it still has a lot to teach you. Some folks "tinker" a plane to death trying to get something IN it that was designed OUT of it in the first place. You need to learn to fly out of or through these traits so common to most trainers. So what if it climbs on turns, or climbs when adding a bit of throttle. You can control that via the transmitter. After a while you'll be doing it so smooth it'll be second nature. I've gotten back to the basics of flying myself with our LT 40, and am enjoying it a bunch. As for problems with wing lift on landings, simply fly it down. When you're circling to land, set the throttle a little above idle, enough to have a slow forward flight path, then feed in a tad of "down" elevator. This will counter the lift force of the wing. Once the nose drops, pick it up and hold it up at the angle desired with the elevator stick. The throttle is set for a slow rate of descent, the motor is pulling the plane forward, gravity is pulling it down, the wing is holding it up, and you're controling it all by the elevator stick ... that's flying. In my book there's nothing prettier than a well executed no bounce landing. Takes practice, but it'll come.
