RE: batteries
Good choice, Today I flew a 40 size High wing airplane similar to your LT40. Total on time on the transmitter for that model today was 1:45hrs The receiver pack only required 274mah to replenish on the way home, with my good charger/cycler. Hope this example instills confidence in you good choice of batteries for the task at hand.
