It's a beaut! Great Job!

Is that a Meccoa engine? Or V-Max?

RE: LT-40 pics
 

You've got a beauty there friend.

RE: LT-40 pics
 

neither... its a GMS .47 I had alot of probs initially trying to tune it, which is as I have been told "nature of the beast". Its quite reliable now and is a screamer turning an 11x6 at 15000 rpm

RE: LT-40 pics
 

Wow, that IS a screamer. No problems taking off, then...??!!

RE: LT-40 pics
 

no... 10-15ft is about average take offs. I agree it is alot of motor for the LT-40, but I may use the motor in something else later on.

Now that is really sweet!!!!! Darn good job!

RE: LT-40 pics
 

Very nice! I wish mine came out half as good looking!

RE: LT-40 pics
 

That's an AWSOME covering job!!! great job man!

RE: LT-40 pics
 

nice looking airplane! I like how you did the covering!

RE: LT-40 pics
 

You built one really great looking plane! What's your method for covering the fuse with the holes clear and the rest white? I like that. It looks real clean in the pics but I can't figure out how you did it?

Here's a pic of mine. I think that all the praise the LT40 gets here on RCU is warranted. This is a wonderful trainer.

Nice plane Talon.

The windowing of the Fuse was quit simple. I am not sure of what methods others have used but this was my own. I ironed on the white covering one side at a time, used #11 blade to cut out the holes and then used my heat gun to peel the white covering back off. I then simply ironed on sheets of transparent green to cover the holes and then re-applied the white covering on top with the holes already cut out.

This was my first attempt at anything like this and to be honest I wasn't sure if I was gonna make a mess of it. The white covering peeled off very easily as long as you don't iron it on thoroughly and let it sit.

GREAT JOB!!! That is Sweet..

Wish I could get mine to come out like that... I always have these glue
finger prints all over... Not quite sure how that happens:(
