Hi folks,
Lost my medical at the moment so have a bit of time on my hands. Am just about to start building a balsa wood P40...I figure that if I don't have the patience to do that right then there's no point thinking about the real thing. I'm interested in the Loehle 5151, the Loehle P40 is not approved for the UK. Neither is the 5151 but it's under survey so it should be approved soon ( Come on Steve !:p: ).
Question is this...
I know skills are transferable but will a 16.5" wingspan kit help much? Not to worry if it doesn't 'cos I plan to just enjoy the process...
