Sig LT-40 Restorations

My current project is refurbishing this Sig LT40 my father built in the early 2000’s. He gave it to me about a year ago and I put a few flights on it but the GMS 47 engine gave me too many dead stick landings so I hung it up. It was also a little tail heavy for my taste. So I pulled it down recently and removed some of the covering at the back, dremeled some holes and recovered it. I also made some adjustments to move the radio forward. Finally, I decided to sand and repaint it. My father had painted it white and used some red pinstripes along the fuselage. I was feeling fancy so used some masking tape and Rustoleum and went to work.

Next I’ll tackle that pesky GMS engine.
