Surprised me too. I just looked at a MKII and found it's nowhere close to that. In fact, the MKII is 2.5 down and 0 with a +.25 incidence on the wing. Maybe it shouldn't have since the Sr is 6 down...

You do know that you can down size the blade length by adding a blade? I was just looking at the OS 35 AX and it runs a 10X6 for break in. If you can clear a 9" prop, a 3 blade 9X6 would probably...

Justin, you just filled in the blanks on some questions I have about a pair or Jrs I'm slowly working on. One is getting a flat wing and twin floats(along with 6" more in wingspan) while the other...

I'd guess it has to do with the wing area. A four foot wing has a lot less length to roll than a 5.25 or 6.5 foot wing on the Seniorita or Senior. When you compare the wing area to the strip ailerons...

Not quite. Not unless you start factoring some of the idiotic things I see others do here at work. Then it becomes more like "Slam forehead into concrete wall in frustration".

I know the frames and ribs are all shown on the Kadet Jr plans so, one can assume anyway, it would only make sense that the ribs would be shown on the plans of your LT-40, that is if it wasn't an ARF

Since you have the plans, why not make your own wing kit? It doesn't take a lot of work, just a band/scroll saw and a sander.
