Pretty straight forward build as most Sig kits are. The only changes I made were first to ditch the idea of the stick pushrods and put in solid wire rods in tubes. The elevator isn't that bad with a stick, but with the bend in the wire required for the rudder, too much flex for my tastes. The second thing was I glued a flattened out the leading edge of the ailerons, glued a stiff piece of balsa on and shaped it again. This gave a better fit and stiffened them up a bit as the supplied pieces were pretty soft. I glassed them too Finally, more of an esthetic thing for me, my ailerons don't go to the tips. I added a stationary section about an inch long (red part of tip is stationary)..

Oh... and if you are covering with an iron on film, cover either cover to top of the fuse before installing the ABS top or iron down a narrow strip first. Then you can install the painted top after. IMHO, it just seems to make life a bit easier.

Just wishing for some nice weather now... can't wait to see it in the air.
