Yeah I built the b wing. I have flown before but it was a long time ago, and I decided a couple months ago to get back into the hobby. My first kit is almost complete just a few more things to hook up then break the engine in. I have already started on a second PT-40 that im making into a tail dragger.

I built two of them as well, the first was with the A wing and I did not like the wing, so I bought another kit ($15 more than just the wing kit) and built my second one. I later did a bunch of conversions on the original plane - it earned the name the Basher because of all the mods. I made it a tail dragger, took all the dihedral out of the wing, put an OS .61 in the front of it (it was a .40 size) and extended the rudder and elevator.
I had a few flights on it, and then had it up for what was it's final flight, doing a very basic circuit something came off of the plane and it went into a shallow kniffing kind of dive. I have not been able to find the wreckage.
If you have not yet built your second PT-40, do yourself a favor and pick up a Sig 4 Star, as easy to fly as a trainer, but much more airplane, and a lot of fun to fly.
Good luck!
