On takeoff the pilot had to maintain a significant amount...

Now my head hurts! The website does say 6 and 6. But the above is 6 and 0! In the end, it is a trainer, and I'm the instructor mostly flying it, so can cope if it is a bit off. Worst case, I use...

I'm finally getting the rebuild of a crashed LT-40 ARF started.
Rather than pay for a fuse kit from Sig, I'll just cut my own balsa and make my own. Too bad shipping for LT-40 plans from Sig costs...
