My Sig SE
Here is my Sig SE.
This is my first fun-fly type plane, heck, this is my first kit plane.
I have flown it 4 or 5 times and like it. I haven't done many named manuevers yet, (not on purpose anyway) just been banging the sticks around trying to get a feel for it.
O.S FX 46 W/stock muffler 11 x 5 apc prop
Added 1 1/2" to rudder
Weight 5 lb. 3 oz.
Balances at 4 5/16" (3 1/2 on plans)
Used Stock gear w/Dave Brown Lite Flite 3" wheels
I have 2 5/8" clearance from prop to floor
Futaba 8UAPS radio
Landing gear info:
I purchased a gear from TNT for a SE. when I received it they sent a standard 60 size with it by mistake. The 60 gear was actually lighter than the SE gear. The height (5") and width (12")
are nearly identical. the SE gear was wider where it bolts to the plane. I kept the 60 and returned the SE gear.
Stock SE gear: 70.4g (2.483 oz.)
TNT std. 60 gear: 95.7g (3.375 oz.)
TNT SE gear: 108.6g (3.830 oz.)
I may put the TNT back on when the grass grows.
