Love that plane! Thanks for posting this and a very special thanks for NOT adding music to the video.
Your welcome and always brother 👍🏻🫡
This was the easiest flying plane I ever had. Excellent trainer.
Excelente !! Gran avión
Beautiful flight and great landing.
Much appreciated for the comment and thanks !!
Thank you.sure looks sharp i hope to get one soon. Im ok with my sport planes but im rusty on landings . This amazing lt40 would be a great plane to show me better approaches and touch downs. Happy flying.
It’s deff a great plane for landing and all around smooth fun flying for sure. You deff should grab one when you can or snatch up a deal used somewhere. I also enjoy the sport planes as well can beat the fun factor. Enjoy the flying as well
That looks like an excellent plane/engine combo. I have an LT-25 and have had a Sig Senior in the past and those are also nice models. I want to get the LT-40 kit and build one of those too. But I will add an aluminum main gear to get around the squatty look you get with the wire landing gear.
Yep I agree , these are great flyers and super fun planes. You can get up in the thermals and chill on throttle and stay up for so long on a tank on the LA 46. I think the better landing gear would make big difference
@@scalercchicago9938 I have built three Senioritas in the past and have another kit stored in my attic waiting for its turn on the building board. I put FP-25s on mine and they would fly on 2 clicks above idle for a long time. My record was one 42 minute flight. The Seniorita and Sweet Stick were my two favorite models to fly. Sig offered some of the best flying models. I also would like to get a Mid-Star 40. So many planes, so little time.
@@ttiroff very nice , I agree with the above and also I had an awesome 40 two years ago. All original from back in the day. Good friend I work with he has tons tons kits and arf’s. They are all original old planes but mint. When the planes were built super good. My other favorites are the stik 40 and I also have a ultra stik with a fx 75. Such an awesome plane as well. I’ll be posting more vids this summer. Cool you have good taste as well
Very cool,i have plans to sig kadet senior huge plane i just got framed up balsa wood I purchased from hobby lobby i think i got double price in it over the 114 of the kit next time il try order my wood.also have the astro hog plan.problem ive ben asking around trying to find the 5/32 music wire to make my landing gear . I could make my senior a taildragger.still would have to come up with something landing gear wize.if nothing else im going to get the Lt40 plan sheets.have great one .thanks
Why not check in with a welding store in your area. That is where I found my music wire. I use it all the time on my rc powered parachutes.
Looks like the 46 la powers it well , ive got a magnum 61 fs on mine ,i had a supertigre 40 until it lost all compression and wouldnt start from ring failure
.46 is deff great for this platform and has the power it needs that’s for sure. The super tiger 🐅 I always liked those motors as well. How is the .61 on there ?
@@scalercchicago9938 perfect match,i had a saito 50 little under powered
I bought the same plane back in the late 90's and mostly built it in 2014. It's still sitting unfinished but so close to being done. I can't help but notice the way your wing attaches. Is it in 2 pieces? Mine was build in accordance to the instructions as a one piece wing and it holds to the fuselage with elastics.
It’s an original also from way back in the day. The wings are secured as when you mount and dismount it stays as one big wing.
You should get that going and put a LA46 on it. Greta plane , great flying for sure.
@@scalercchicago9938 I already do have a motor for it. It too is quite old but in new condition as it's mounted to the plane now but never fired. It is an Italian made Super Tigre GS-40. When I bought the motor it was my understanding that it was a decent piece of kit. What are your thoughts on the radio I should select. I want decent quality without breaking the bank, and isn't too complicated to learn. I already have servos, and they too are mounted to the plane. They are the Hitec HS-425BB Deluxe. Thanks in advance!
@@jimdent351 motor should be good to go. If it has never been fired no need to clean the carb or really mess with it. Just make sure the tank it set up right and you should be fine. The old tigers are good to go for motors.
For radio I would 100% go with spektrum. I would just grab a DX6e as it’s got a good screen , easy to use and won’t break the bank. Then jump on Amazon and grab yourself a spektrum sport receiver and 4 channel one there cheap but very solid. Get the new type that has push button binding.
@@scalercchicago9938 Thanks for the advice. I will be finishing it this winter because, as stated, it's so close to being finished and I've been anxious to get it flying. I started the build in 2014 when my first child was born but he became such a handful that I just had to quit working on it. Lately he's been bugging me to see it fly and that's motivated me to get busy again. Thanks again.
Can someone please provide a link where to purchase this and what model details of this engine? I bought the kit but have no idea where to start to get an engine for it as I am new to the hobby.

That’s the motor you will want if you have the same mode and plane as mine in the video. These are super reliable , easy to tune. Try fine a new one or used. They don’t make them but there vest to use. Also you can get and O.S .46 motor even née ones and be good to go. Servos grab some of these work great
Futaba S3003 Standard Servo www.amazon.com/dp/B0015H2V72/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1GB8KT9G6HQ0BBYB2E7C
. Get yourself a Spektrum receiver 4 channel is all you need

Easy push button bind.
For the battery use a TWO 4.8V 1000mA NICAD AA FLAT RX BATTERIES FOR RC / JR / MADE IN USA / NC1004F-U
Perfect for RC Cars, Planes, Trucks and Boats! From eBay for $11. Great batteries last long also.
Anything else just let me no try help you out.
Great airplane i built this as a kit and learned to fly with it no instructor. Now hard to find one for sale. I would buy another one
David King Thanks , and for sure such a great plane to fly and learn on and o just have fun with. They still sell the ARF’s. I always enjoy bringing it out.
You can buy them directly from sig. Sigmfg.com
I just bought an older Sig 40 trainer. I have an OSY .40 4 stroke surpass available. Enough power?
Yep thats fine and as small as you would want to go for the kadet. You will enjoy the plane. Very fun , easy flyer , and great all around plane. Congrats
Hello, excuse me, I'm looking for the plans of the Kadet LT-40, could you help me to get it? I'd be very gratefull
You can download plans from a bunch of places and by build kits also from ebay that others make as well. This has some plans.

What size prop?
11/6. But you can go a little bigger . For tgat motor is what i found works great.
@@scalercchicago9938 on my 40 la I've used 14x6 hahahah 11x4 turns a lot too
@@feltav5719 oh yeah for sure lol. Good times no doubt
@Elijah Scott LeFever you'd be surprised. It has no baffle and sound super quiet lol the flybys on my piper(its a.40 size... 6' wing(2m) ... You should dee it man... It sounds amazing. You can hear the prop more than the engine ahhaahaha
@Elijah Scott LeFever downside is you gotta be easy on the throtle... Or else... Dead stick.
Looks a bit tail heavy to me 🤷🏻♂️
Looks heavy but pretty light compared to the size, flys super smooth and what a great plane to have a blast from. Very capable as well for a lot of things. Rolls are slow but expected because of design but if you ever have a chance to fly do it.
That’s what I thought as well significantly tail heavy, push that receiver battery forward and/or add a touch of weight .
