RE: Old trainer rebuild story

RE: LT-40 Kit Update: Bolt Wing Mount & Tail Dragger

One thing I just noticed. Are you going to have enough prop clearance? I fly off of a nicely groomed grass runway, and I did have green prop tips. Hope it all works out. Daren

RE: LT-40 Kit Update: Bolt Wing Mount & Tail Dragger

This was my effort. It was a crash recovery that the owner didn't want to fix. The wing was solid, but the fuselage was pretty beat up. The airplane ran out of battery, and just did a lazy spiral...
