Title: LT-25 (yes 25) :) Post by: lownslo on March 14, 2006, 09:23:28 PM Hello Guys, One of the other kits I have built was the LT-25. We discussed the LT-40 in the ARF and RTF forum, but I thought I would give anyone interested a look at the atributes of the LT-25. This is a VERY easy build, and a sweetheart to fly just like it's big brother. I built mine with almost no dihedral in the wing, which does have a 63" span. There is very little lite ply in this kit. Even most of the formers are balsa. Before covering, I used thin CA to soak into some areas of the balsa formers to stiffen them. This calls for a .25 to .32 two stroke engine.........and I am sure it would fly just fine with it, as the RTF weight is a little over 4 lbs. You say you have an old .40 LA stored away like I did? I put mine on this jewel and it was a great combo. It was a terrific plane to fly. I sold it and the new owner soloed soon after. It finally was destroyed.... but it happened with the 4th owner!! ....

I understand that the Kadet LT-25 is one of the more popular electric conversions, given its light weight construction and ample wing area.

I havn't seen it fly as I was leaving the day he unloaded. I did take time to talk with him about it and he was very happy with it's performance. ........ lownslo....
Bob PS. My old .40 LA was not a real powerhouse as we know them.......... but it would take my LT-25 to nearly unlimited vertical. :) |
