RE: Lt-40, NexStar, Tower Trainer whats the difference?
Hmm, I think of the LT-40 as being a relatively new design, but one that is very refined. Having flown multiple examples of nearly every trainer produced the last 40 years, the LT-40 remains my favorite to train with. A ten-year-old child can build it, cover it and learn to fly it. A half-blind old man can still see it and learn to fly with it. Anyone in-between will find it a great model to begin with. It can be set up to nearly fly itself, or you can learn most basic acrobatics maneuvers with it. So there is plenty of growth potential within the design just by changing the balance and control throws.
