Very nice looking plane. Looks like a good stepping stone towards warbirds with the tappered yet eliptical wing... Much like a Spitfire or a P-40. However a 6 Lbs. it should be a fairly sporty pattern trainer. Sorry though I have no inside info on it for you. Probably another Chinese made ARF that you will have to reinforce all the joints on.

EDIT// To make this a warbird trainer simply fly it as is and as you get used to it add weight untill you get to 7 ish pounds and do not over power it.

Another thing I notice is that the plane and the way the website is set up is strikingly familiar to Airborne Models who sells The World Models planes. I checked their site and they have nothing that could be the same plane. But you will notce the similarities.

Oh and take your time with the LT-40 and get everything you can out of it.

Further investigationtells me these are made by the same people. The World Models. Check these two planes out.

Now the World Models have been great planes for me. I have had three and liked them all.
